“He's a very nice guy, he's very relaxed and you can tell he knows a lot about the game.

“At the start, jumping in straight away, it was a shock.

"I've still not adapted fully but I'm definitely a lot more comfortable in the Scottish game than I was before.

“The team are amazing. It's definitely like a family and I'm feeling like a part of it.

“I look forward to everyday here, not just every game.

"I'm excited to be a part of this team and I'm enjoying it very much.”

The 22-year-old Londoner says Friday night’s Fife derby call off was a first for him.

“I've played in some terrible stadiums and I've never experienced anything like that!

"It was just a glitch.

“From what I know there was nothing anyone could have done. It was just unlucky.

“These things happen, we just have to move forward.”
