DEFIANT Morton boss Dougie Imrie says all the fingers should be pointing firmly at him after watching his side fall to a crushing 6-0 defeat to league leaders Falkirk.

The Ton boss cut a lonely figure on the touchline after watching his side get mauled by John McGlynn's side at the Falkirk Stadium and looking back on an afternoon to forget he admits that his side could've done better for the majority of the goals that they conceded.

And he says that the manner of the way his side were easily brushed aside by the Bairns was unacceptable as he now looks to go about getting a reaction from an incredibly depleted squad.

He told the Tele: "I'll take it on the chin. I brought these players to the club so i'll take full responsibility for that result against Falkirk.

"We want to try and pass the ball - which at times I feel like we do. We came in at 2-0 down after losing two poor goals from two poor crosses.

"In one of which the smallest guy on the pitch scores a free header. It's disappointing. The first one is a free runner in Keelan Adams.

"Apart from that, they never really done anything else other than keep the ball which we know Falkirk are good at.

"We came in at half time looking to get a bit of a jag - and then we lose a goal within a minute from a ball up the channel that we should've dealt with.

"To then concede three goals in nine minutes is unacceptable - but i'll take full responsibility for the result. It's not on the players.

"It was one of those days - but to lose in the manner of the way that we did is unacceptable."

When assessing a nightmare start to the second half, that saw his side concede a penalty inside just 30-seconds, Imrie says that he was needing his players to roll their sleeves up.

And he admits that what transpired had left him feeling the lowest he's ever felt during his time in charge at the club as he looks to seek a reaction when his side welcome Ayr United to Cappielow on Friday night.

He added: "All your looking for at half time, i've been there as a player, is for everyone to go and roll their sleeves up and dig deep.

"If you can nick a goal to make it 2-1 you're right back in the game and momentum could swing in your favour.

"But the second you lose a penalty after 20-seconds, the game's done. The question after that is can you keep it at three and then look what happened.

"In the time that I've been the manager of this football club - that's the worst I've felt after a game and I don't want to feel like that again."
