It's one of the reasons you play football, to make people happy.

You want to play in big games.

You have to beat the best if you want to win tournaments.

I was so used to playing at St Mirren and then Hibs all the time, so it was really important that the next place I was going I was going to play.

The refs try their best. Sometimes they get it right. Sometimes they get it wrong.

It was always going to be a risk if I went to America.

It's always nice to be getting personal recognition, but I wouldn't be getting it if it wasn't for the help of my team-mates and the backroom staff.

I'm grateful for what this club has done for me and I love playing for Hibs - I never take that for granted.

Football is a great place to get away from things, and going over to Greece was amazing and I've loved it - it is basically getting away from all the talk.

I've never hidden the fact I'm ambitious at some point.

I've always said the same thing - I'm learning, I'm getting better and I'm loving playing in front of sell-out crowds.

I feel as if I'm getting better all the time. At the same time, though, I'm ambitious.

There is not really any point in having a big squad if you don't use it.

I'd been with Saints for 13 years, so it was always going to be a bit strange going back for the first time.

That is what all the top players do and if you want to be the best you know you are going to get marked.

When you come to a club like Hibs not everyone can handle it, there's pressure in every single game to get results.

The advice I would give to young players is always give St Mirren an opportunity.

It is not easy to get out of it. It is much nicer to be fighting at the top of the league but it is only nicer if you can get something at the end of it.

The Villa boys will not be shy in telling me that I talk about Hibs all the time. I loved my time here, it was a special three seasons so I have a lot to be thankful for from my time here.

You're always looking to go one step further and I'm an ambitious boy.

You always need to be on your toes.

I'm going from Somerset Park one week to Wembley the next. It's crazy but that's football. You don't get to where you want to be without going through all these different places.

You are professional so you want to win every game you play.

If we can get Hibs into European football it would be massive for everyone involved.
