Every young kid growing up playing football dreams of playing in those big famous stadiums.

For every Scottish player and whoever qualifies to play for Scotland, it's important to put in the performances and, when a squad is coming up, to stay on your toes and prove you deserve to be there.

When you are growing up to even be involved in a Scotland squad is a massive achievement, to go on and play for your country is an amazing thing, something I will never take for granted.

You are professional so you want to win every game you play.

Sports are such a great teacher. I think of everything they've taught me: camaraderie, humility, how to resolve differences.

When I was 15, I decided to take up the sport seriously, so I went down to the Y.M.C.A. My first day there, this little Italian guy beat my brains out. I decided to quit. Then I realized I really wanted to be a fighter. I worked at it, went back, and that little Italian guy didn't beat me up no more.

The great thing about America, what I've loved about it, is how sports-friendly it is. In America, sports are respected and loved.

All this cuddling and kissing on stage these days, well it's all right in football when someone scores a goal, but not when you're playing darts.
