00:00 Your first goal for Elgin City this afternoon is such an important goal, you must be delighted.
00:03 Yeah, I'm buzzing with that. I'm just happy that I could help the team get the win and
00:09 it makes it even better that we won the game. I'm buzzing. I mean, I just seen it coming
00:19 and I was going to take a touch but I thought, just hit it. I just hit it and I seen it flying
00:25 in and that was it. Was it one of those that you felt as soon as it left your boot, you thought
00:30 that's going to be in the goals? Nah, to be honest, nah. It took a while to go in so once I hit it,
00:37 it took a while to go in and I was just watching it open and when I noticed it was going in, I was
00:43 happy. It's such a big game for Elgin today, to score the winning goal and win the Man of the
00:46 Match award must mean a lot to you. Yeah, I'm delighted. I mean, it took me a while to get
00:53 going but I feel like now I've settled in. The speed of the game, the speed of the game.
00:59 Because before I came here, I was watching it but it looks different when you're watching it
01:04 than actually playing in it. So yeah, the speed of the game for sure. Things are done much quicker
01:10 compared to how you leave. Yeah, and I think the message with the squad is it's a very competitive
01:14 squad. When you've got this starting place in the team, you've got to play well to hold on to that
01:18 position, don't you? Yeah, yeah. That's how it is and that's how it should be. I'm more than
01:24 confident. I'm more than confident. We won today and obviously they were ahead of us so we've gone
01:31 ahead of them and we've got Stranou next week and I'm confident that we can go win that game also.
01:37 Yeah, I'm more than confident that we'll stay up. You must enjoy working with Alan and Stephen,
01:42 really, they've been a big part of your career now, haven't they? Yeah, yeah. The way they've
01:46 got the boys playing, as you can all see, the results they've picked up in the short time
01:50 they've been here. Like you said, I'm used to playing under them and I know the system so
01:54 I enjoy it, really enjoy it. And you got a very warm reception from the Elgin fans when you did
01:59 come off there towards the end of the match. They were thrilled about your performance. Yeah,
02:03 yeah. I just want to say thank you to them. They've made it much easier for me to settle
02:07 in. They've been very welcoming and yeah, I just want to say thank you to the fans.
02:12 And you're a guy who creates a lot of goals as well as scores them. You'll be confident you can
02:16 create and score more goals between now and the end of the season? Yeah, hopefully. Just look to
02:21 carry on. We've got one today, see if we can get one next week also.
