Robbie Neilson hopes Leicester City don't end up rueing the two points they dropped at Scunthorpe United.

Martyn Woolford's equaliser with the last kick of the game denied City a victory that should have been secured by half time as the visitor's dominated the game and created several clear-cut chances.

Despite taking another valuable away point which kept City in third place in the Championship, just ahead of next week's opponents Nottingham Forest, Neilson said the squad were 'devastated' by the late blow, and the Scottish full-back added that he hoped they wouldn't be made to regret it as the promotion race unfolds.

"We played well and we had shut them out so to concede in the 94th minute is devastating. But it has happened and we need to deal with it and move on," said Neilson. "That is football sometimes.

"It is still a point away from home and if we had been a goal down, and if it had been us who had got the goal at the end, we would have been delighted.

"This is a difficult place to come to. It is a tight park and they play it well. They try to get the ball from side to side and attack on the wings but I thought we handled them well until the 94th minute.

"When they scored at the end it was really frustrating. There is nothing you can do about it and we have just dropped two points.

"At the end of the season we may look back and think 'if only we hadn't dropped those two points at Scunthorpe in November'.

"It is done and that is football. We are now focused on the game next week.

"We have conceded a last-minute goal and we are devastated but that is life and we just have to get on with it."

The defender has had several different partners down the flank and had to strike up an understanding with Yann Kermorgant at Scunthorpe.

The striker was asked to play on the right of midfield at Glanford Park and was unlucky not to break his goalscoring duck.

He was denied twice in the first half by two superb saves from Iron goalkeeper Joe Murphy, and Neilson said he enjoyed playing behind the Frenchman.

"I thought he played well," said the former Hearts defender. "It is a new position for him but he is a fantastic footballer and he has great technique. It was enjoyable playing with him.

"He is fantastic in the air. He has great timing and a great leap. The strengths he has are well suited to this league.

"I thought he had scored in the first half. It was a great header, he got so much power on it, but it was a great save by the keeper."
