There were mixed emotions for Conor Grant as he made his Motherwell debut at the weekend.
The midfielder joined the Scottish Premier League outfit on deadline day of the January transfer window and netted a fine free-kick and provided an assist against Ross County.
Unfortunately, 'Well were on the wrong end of a 3-2 scoreline and Grant admitted it was a bittersweet day.
"I'm obviously happy with the goal, but the three points are the most important thing and we couldn't get that so it's very disappointing," he said.
"I thought we started the game quite well, we were on the front foot. They've hit us with a good goal and it's knocked us back a bit. We came back into the game well and I thought once we got the goal we were going to go on.
"But we've conceded two sloppy goals and we need to be better defensively."
"It was very frustrating. We wanted to build and try and get the second, but obviously we needed to stay in the game longer, maybe another 10 minutes, and try to push on. Unfortunately we conceded early.
"It's the first game I've come in for. Obviously it's never nice to lose any game, but this one even more so."
