Watch Livingston secure promotion with incredible comeback victory against Ross County
Livingston are back where they belong after overcoming Ross County in the play-off final to seal a Premiership return, says defender Danny Wilson.
Wilson headed the leveller in Dingwall as David Martindale's side superbly fought back from two down to triumph 4-2 and climb out of the Championship at the first attempt with a 5-3 aggregate success.
"I didn't think we deserved to be two behind. We started the game fairly well then shot ourselves in the foot," Wilson told BBC Scotland.
"But we showed great character, and what a goal by Lewis Smith to get us back in the game. That came at a really important time and settled us before half-time.
"Over the two legs we are deserving to be back in the Premiership. A lot of things get thrown at us – but we believe we're a good team. We've shown that over the course of these play-offs.
"The Premiership is a place the club deserves to be. We've had a difficult season but we've built and built as the campaign went on.
"We can look forward with real optimism for this team."
Livi stalwart Scott Pittman is relishing being back in the top flight at the age of 32.
"Delighted. It's been a long, hard season and we pushed Falkirk all the way. To get promoted and have the [Challenge] Cup win as well, it's been a great season," said Pittman.
"We've grown in confidence as the season's gone on and got better and better. We can take that into next season.
"Promotion was the goal at the start of the season and it's great to achieve it. I'm not getting any younger so it's just great to be back in the top flight."
