Speaking to The Celtic Star in the mixed-zone post-match, Trusty said: “Very disappointing, absolutely, to lose a final and not lift the trophy. That’s extremely upsetting. I think obviously you don’t want to let in a goal that early on, but it’s a long game. I know we’re a good team so we can come back and once we get the second goal.”
“I mean the first goal, tie it up, the momentum shifts back to us and then going into, we’re missing good chances and then going into the second half, we’re confident about that. (It’s) just execution. We let in goals, and we let in easy goals that we shouldn’t have. That’s what has happened and how we got that result.”
“The results haven’t gone our way. This past week has been something to forget. To lose the first-place game, lose the Europa League game and then lose this game, it’s just been a tough week. I think just stay together as a group and get closer and get more and more confident, and then the results come.”
The 27 year-old added: “We’re all really good players, and it’s a really good team as well, and we’re all together. It just takes one little instance, one little moment, and then we’re back together. Not that we’re not together.”
“There are highs and lows every year. There are highs and lows to every person, every career. No, I’m confident. I think we’re all confident. We’ve had a bad spell of games this past week, but it’s been a really good season up to this point. There’ll be a really good season after this point as well. It’s just been a tough week, a tough Sunday.”
Fully aware of the demands that come with representing Celtic and conscious of the team’s recent shortcomings, Trusty remains confident that he and his teammates can turn things around swiftly ahead of the trip to face Dundee United at Tannadice tomorrow night.
He added: “It’s been a week of three really important games, yes, they haven’t gone in our favour, but it’s been really good up to this point, and it’ll be really good after this point.”
“We’re a good group of players, good individually, good as a collective. t’s a bad week, we didn’t want to lose three games, but we can recover. We’re a good team and we move on.”
