Scott was appointed joint Boston manager with Paul Hurst in the summer

Joint Boston boss Rob Scott praised his players for putting the title race in their hands, but has warned them that they have not won it yet.

A 4-1 home win over FC United of Manchester means a win at Marine on Saturday will see Boston crowned as Unibond Premier Division champions.

Scott told BBC Lincolnshire: "We've not won it yet. Massive credit goes to the players, but nothing's yet in the bag.

"We're not counting our chickens yet. We've got to work hard and prepare."

York Street's biggest crowd of the season of 2,533 saw the Pilgrims come from behind to go three points clear at the top of the table.

If they really do believe they can go on and create a bit history for themselves and the club, then that's what they've got to do Joint Boston boss Rob Scott

Jerome Wright gave FC United a fourth-minute lead, but Boston staged a late comeback with four goals in the last 20 minutes. Lee Canoville, Anthony Church, Spencer Weir-Daley and Danny Davidson were the scorers.

Scott said: "We like to make it difficult, but that's just the way it is. The players have been fantastic for us and nothing's won yet and we've got to get our heads back on it.

"It's a very small word - belief - but if they really do believe they can go on and create a bit history for themselves and the club then that's what they've got to do. They've got to believe in their ability."

Since Boxing Day, Boston have won 13 out of 16 of their league games.
