And while that left his brother disappoint­ed, Lewis is delighted to still be a United player.

“I got a text off Max after the game. He said I should’ve let one in but I sent him one back saying I’ve got a job to do and that comes first.

“The boys showed a lot of character and, although there isn’t a lot of time to recover before we go again against Livingston, that puts us in a good place.

“It was a case of getting the job done and that’s what they did.

“I don’t see any reason why we can’t do the same again and have a real go at using these play-offs to get this club back where it belongs in the Premiershi­p.”

Lewis revealed Friday’s comeback after a poor first 45 minutes that saw United fall behind to a Declan McManus goal, was inspired by an impromptu team-talk from skipper Willo Flood at the break.

The Irishman dished out a few home truths and let his fellow players know what was expected of them.

“I wasn’t in the dressing-room because I was warming up with the rest of the lads on the bench but apparently Willo gave a few lads a kick up the backside.

“That obviously worked because we came out the second half a different team.

“And if we keep playing like we did after the break on Friday, we have to have a good chance against Livingston.”
