Joe Hugill says Kilmarnock always believed they would pull a victory out the bag even when the pressure came on against Dundee at Rugby Park.

Hugill's two late goals gave Neil McCann's side a 3-1 win to ensure Killie will be playing Premiership football next season.
There were nervous moments after Dundee levelled through Charlie Reilly, and with St Mirren beating Aberdeen at Pittodrie, it looked like the battle to avoid the relegation play-off would go down to the final match.
But Hugill's penalty with five minutes remaining and last-gasp header sent the home fans into delirium.
"I think as they scored we always knew we were going to get at least one more chance," Hugill told BBC Scotland.
"We always felt it was going to come, all lads on the pitch seem to constantly say 'we'll get one more, we'll get one more', and that's what we did."
"That was always the aim when I came here in January, to keep this club in the Premiership. To get the win was the main thing and that's what we've done. The aim is to get ninth. Just win our last game [against Livingston] and then that's all we can do."
