Despite the loss, Levein believes the game and the 5 day bonding trip in Spain preceding it strengthens the unity and togetherness of the squad.
Talking to BBC Radio Scotland, Levein said:
“I’m really pleased with the players. As a team I don’t think we could’ve worked any harder. This has been a great week for us. They’re a great group, really tight.”
“We won’t play any harder friendlies than that, it’s impossible, and we’ve come away from the game having learned that to play at this level, we have to improve.”
“We’ve managed to spend a bit of time together and you could see how much they wanted to try for each other. This whole week was about bonding, getting together, understanding each other, getting to know each other. You saw that on the pitch, you saw that part of it.”
