He is a young player so there is a lot of scope for improvement. He is not the finished article, so we had to look carefully at him. He will be a good asset to the squad, and he has good credentials.

He should be able to start training next week all going well which is good news as initially we thought it could have been a cracked rib because he was passing blood and was in a lot of pain. That's why the hospital kept him in overnight, but all going well he will now come into contention for the Celtic match.

It's always good to get a win in a derby. I said we were short of fitness but we knew there were goals in the team.

I left the club in as good a position as it ever has been in,
