But McLeish felt his side should have won at St Andrews.
City goalkeer Shay Given saved a second-half penalty from James McFadden.
“We are disappointed not have got three points,” McLeish told Sky Sports.
“And that is a measure of how well the team played today.
“We got the ball into strikers, got support to them and James McFadden looked very sharp, but we lacked that little bit of composure in front of goal and I am hoping that will come.
“It was a great team performance.”
