The young Ger reflected on this afternoon’s cup game against Tommy McIntyre’s side in Airdrie and gave his thoughts on the squad’s performance.
Speaking after the game, he said: “I thought we started the game really slow, these aren’t the games that you can do that – you need to start fast and take the game to them and I don’t feel that we did that today.
“It just took us a bit of time to get going, but once we did you could see our quality and we could go and hurt them, we just didn’t take our chances. If we started a bit quicker with some more intensity, then I think we would’ve given ourselves a better chance.
“It was a great strike from Charlie [McCann], he’s been doing really well in training, so I’m not surprised that he pulled that off. It gave us a bit of a cushion, but when you score goals in this game the other team are going to come straight back to you and that’s exactly what they did.
King looked ahead as the two sides meet again in the Lowland League soon and insisted it is an opportunity to make it a different game.
He added: “Coming into an Old Firm game you know that it’s going to be a tough game, but it’s a game that we relish, one we want to go in and one that you need to go a 100%. I think that we did that at times, but just not enough.
“We prepare the same every game, obviously it’s good for me to go and get minutes again since being involved with the first team, but these are the games that you need to go and win.
“I think that this [today] was a missed opportunity, I don’t think it was a great result and when we go again in two weeks’ time with the fans behind us, I think it can be a different outcome.”
