Grant Scott did not shirk from showing his true emotions following Hibernian Women's vital 2-0 victory over Rangers on Sunday evening.
The Hibees lept above their opponents to reclaim top spot in the ScottishPower Women's Premier League table after Kathleen McGovern and Stacey Papadopoulos both netted inside the first half.
A packed Meadowbank Stadium watched on as the girls put on a professional performance to end an extremely difficult set of fixtures on a high.
"I'm incredibly proud of the group," Scott told HibsTV. "I said that to them after the game."
"I'm immensely proud to be leading this group in the best way that I can, and they keep producing results and performances this season.
"It's incredible where we are at the moment."
Where they are is first in the standings. The team sits two points ahead of Rangers, three above Glasgow City and eight clear of both Hearts and Celtic, respectively.
There are five games to go and Scott urges his side to hold onto their faith in themselves - even if there is always areas to improve.
"I think [the win] confirms what we're capable of and I think when we get our noses in front it settles us down a little bit in games.
"If I was to be overly critical at this point, I think we need to do better with our composure even when it's 0-0.
"We saw what they did to us in the cup final. They're really, really dangerous but we've minimised them.
"I thought Noa [Schumacher] has came in today and dealt with everything that they threw at her. There were a few shots on target and she's cut out a few crosses too.
"The confidence that getting in front gives you is massive but, overall, with their performance level throughout, the girls should be confident."
