St Johnstone boss Tommy Wright 'absolutely delighted' with Europa League display

St Johnstone boss Tommy Wright hails his players following their victory over Luzern in the Europa League.

St Johnstone boss Tommy Wright has heaped praise on his players following their penalty-shootout victory over Luzern in the Europa League's second qualifying round.

The Scottish Cup holders progressed on spot kicks following a 1-1 draw at McDiarmid Park in the second leg of the contest.

"I'm just absolutely delighted to get through the tie," Wright told BBC Sport.

"We knew it was going to be tough, they're a really good side. There's no doubt about it they've put us under a lot of pressure and had quite a few chances.

"I can't praise the players enough; spirit, determination, and ability not to be beaten. It just shone through in the whole performance."

Saints take on Spartak Trnava of Slovakia in the third qualifying round.
