I remember the first time I saw him. He was 13 and just floated over the ground like a cockier spaniel chasing a piece of silver paper in the wind.

I'm privileged to have followed Sir Matt because all you have to do is to try and maintain the standards that he set so many years ago.

I was lying in bed on a Saturday morning, reading the paper, when my phone went. The caller was Rangers director, Jack Gillespie, and he offered me the manager's job at Ibrox. I was flattered but declined with thanks. John Greig was a good friend of mine and I had no intention of being involved in ousting him.

The lads really ran their socks into the ground.

Sometimes in football you have to hold your hand up and say, yeah, they're better than us.

You are responsible to each other because when you win a game of football, you only need eight players to perform well.
