“It's hard to enjoy the acclaim and savor the praise when the team isn't winning.”
“Me and my two brothers painted a football pitch and used the net from scaffolding for goals with bits of wood, although they were burnt down in the end.”
“On the international scene you travel away, come back, feel sluggish and it's very difficult, so my decision was so that I could save myself for West Ham. I know Scotland fans won't like that, but they needed a young, fit, energetic lad to come in there.”
“I still love going back to Celtic Park now, whether it's for Celtic or Scotland games, and seeing the atmosphere.”
“You need to be ready, to adapt quickly and learn fast.”
“You have your heart on your sleeve when you play games, but playing for your country is special, you dream about it as a wee boy.”
“I'm not really one for regrets, but one thing I do wish is that I'd gone down south sooner.”
“At club level you have a lot of lads getting paid and stuff like that, but you would play for your country just for the love of playing for your country. That's the truth, for me anyway.”
“You need to win your home games and that's what gets the crowd behind you.”
“The first thing I remember was going up to Celtic Park to watch Celtic, feeling the full effect of the stadium. When you see the players on the park for the first time, you get sucked in and it's like a dream.”
“When I had other things to deal with in my personal life, people were telling me to come and play for Scotland. So I'd come but then not play. I'd prefer people just to be honest with me and say whether they really want me there or just as a back-up.”
“I try not to look too far ahead, I never have.”
“As a Scotsman, my accent can sometimes be difficult for people to understand.”
“I don't want to think about losing, only winning.”
“I'm a realist, I understand football and situations in the game.”
“People are quick to think if you are not playing you are a bad player and it is not that at all.”
“I learned a lot in my last year at Livingston and even more since coming to Leeds, as a player and on the sports science side.”
“I relish going to places such as Stamford Bridge.”
“There are loads of things you can sit and assess but it does come down to one match at a time. This game does speak for itself.”
“Your defense, first and foremost, is your base.”
