00:00Right Dylan, first hat-trick in senior football I think it is, isn't it?
00:04Yeah, it's the first one.
00:05Describe the buzz of being a hat-trick hero?
00:08It's a great feeling to be honest with you, obviously it's the first one.
00:12It just feels, our confidence coming into the game, my confidence as well.
00:16So that's going to give me a good bit of confidence going up against other teams and stuff like that.
00:19So it just shows you that I can do it as well.
00:21That's why the gaffer brought me in here, to score goals and stuff like that.
00:24But I'm really delighted.
00:25Being a striker is a confidence game isn't it really?
00:27Goals breed confidence, so you must feel that this could be a liftoff for your Elgin City career.
00:32It took a while, it took December.
00:34Obviously I started off slow, we didn't really get that many chances from ourselves.
00:39But now it's starting to click and I'm delighted to get the hat-trick.
00:42Obviously Dejan finished his goal as well.
00:44Finished it, good goal.
00:46Went out the first half, we were unbelievable.
00:49Obviously coming into training, we got a good team talk as well.
00:52It's starting to click now, so it's obviously me and Dejan staying together.
00:55So we know all about each other and stuff like that.
00:57Hopefully this is starting to click and we can assist each other and score goals together.
01:02I'm really delighted for Dejan as well.
01:04Of course.
01:05And the most important goal of the night was Elgin's fourth, your third.
01:10Because it came at a time when things were getting just a little bit on the nervy side.
01:13They came on and scored two quick goals, so we needed that extra goal to give us a bit more confidence.
01:18Obviously we came out and started the second half a bit slow, but they came out very quick.
01:22We came back and got a good result.
01:24Talk me through the free-kick goal.
01:26Have you had many free-kick goals in your time?
01:28No, that was the first free-kick goal, so it was.
01:30But no, I just hit it hard as I could.
01:32Bounced off the post.
01:33Good goal.
01:34Was there a little gap that you noticed or you just thought it was hitting?
01:37I just said to Rossie, I said, just give me something, I'm going to hit it.
01:40But obviously, I'd like to get the third one.
01:42And the hat-trick is always in the mind, isn't it?
01:44In that situation, just thinking, I'm not missing this.
01:46No, obviously that's what you need, that third goal.
01:50So, no, I'd like to get the hat-trick.
01:52And back to the top of the league.
01:54It's a great night for the Elgins, isn't it?
01:56Yeah, look, we deserve to be there.
01:58It shows our hard work coming into the game.
02:00The Gaffers' commitment and Stefan's commitment coming in,
02:03giving us that confidence coming into the game.
02:08And the plans and stuff like that, so that's going good.
