“I had good family around me and good support.”
“My mum is great but my dad was the one person that every day I'd speak to and show my emotion. He'd pick me up when I was down.”
“If it came to it I would say I'm a Celtic fan, I'm not hiding behind that, that's there to be seen but at the same time I'm not everything against Rangers.”
