“I feel more mature as a player and I have the opportunity to show why they were all talking about me a potentially good player a few years ago.”

“Every game you play, you want to go in and give everything you have got, prove a point and make sure you are in the manager's thoughts for the next camp. If you aren't playing, it is difficult.”

“My preference would be to play as a right winger, but I can also play as a striker.”

“I speak to people who have coached me down the years who tell me to look at how far I've come and to just keep going, there will be light at the end of the tunnel.”

“My family were always there for me - they all had my back - and made me feel better to keep pushing. It made me think of all the hard graft I did as a kid with them taking me to training after work.”

“I think I'm just competitive and I demand a lot from myself. So I get frustrated if something hasn't come off for me or if a game is going against it. I like to think I channel it in the right way and do my best for the team.”

“I wouldn't say I'm the chunky lad who just goes barge, barge, barge, but being strong is an advantage.”

“To be honest I didn't have a clue that I was the most expensive Scottish player. It's not something that comes into my head.”

“I know I like to get in the zone, maybe stick on my headphones and listen to music. It helps me concentrate and go over what we've talked about in the team meetings, so I can visualise what's ahead.”
