Inverness went on to win the game 3-2 and advance to the final where they beat Falkirk 2-1.Speaking to Sky Sports Scotland, McLean says: This is absolutely massive.

We learn from all experiences.Obviously that was an incident that was missed, it was disappointing on the day and I take ultimate responsibility for it. But we have a referee team and we share responsibility so its important that we learn from those incidents.But we use our experiences from both positive incidents and negative incidents just to move forward and use it as a learning opportunity and hopefully I have used that in the last season to perform well.I had a really consistent performance level this season and I think I have benefitted from all my experiences in my career and that is what has enabled us to be in this position.
