A lot has been written about my age and my injuries. A lot of people think I'm going to be 94. I'm actually 34 and I feel quite good. I'm sure the fans will judge me on what I do on the pitch, not what I say. |
A taxi driver asked me about that the other day. It's too early to judge the players. I've played four or five games, probably three of them in the middle of the park which is my position, so I think it's too early for me to be to making judgments and statements about other teams and players. |

Over the last few months I've always put football first but come the summer I need to look at what's best for my family. |
The manager pulled me aside on the Saturday morning and said that he will be the one deciding when I'm going to be retiring. |
There is talk about putting this right in January and bringing players in. We should be doing the opposite ? we should be getting rid of people in January. |
When I signed for Celtic I did say to them that it would be best for the club and myself to maybe look at things in the summer but they were quite keen for me to sign for the extra year, which I did eventually. But I will look at things in the summer and see how my hip is bearing up. I'm due to go back to the hip specialist in the summer.
