appreciate effort fans manager matches players putting took
When I was manager at Ipswich and Derby, if we took 3500 to away matches that was good. To take over 6000 is unbelievable. The fans appreciate the effort the players are putting in.

against both final joke
I scored in the final against Porto and I made a joke to him that we are now in the same team. Now we both want him to score.
I thought I did very well for the club,
goal half number second spell start top
I thought in the first half we were excellent. We got one goal and could have got a number more. Hibs were on top for a spell at the start of the second half, but after our second goal there was only going to be one winner.

Julien was released from hospital yesterday and the good news is that all the tests came back clear,

Julien is still having some tests done but he's going home for the weekend and will hopefully start training with us on Tuesday.
finishing good mean season third
Just because I think finishing third would be a good season does not mean we don't want to finish first
interest national side
It can have a snowball effect. With the national side doing well there is more interest in the game, which is great.
came football good great job keen mentally morning respect saturday stay wished
I was very keen for Dennis to stay but he came in on Saturday morning and said he didn't think it was right to stay on and I wished him all the best. Dennis was disappointed, which is understandable, but he can still do a good job on the football field. At the end of the day he has got to be mentally right and he told me he wasn't and you have to respect his decision. He's been a great professional.
craig good joe knows opportunity talks work
Joe knows Craig Levein well and, if the talks work out, it will be a good opportunity for the lad.

I'm hoping to look at a specific player but other than that I don't really want to say anymore at the moment.

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.
