Surviving a brutal relegation battle last season left a lasting impression on the revamped playing squad. The Scottish veteran acknowledged that recent domestic campaigns fell significantly short of the high standards expected by passionate supporters.

The recruit revealed they shared positive conversations regarding tactical philosophies before making his final decision. The demanding manager remains a huge pull for elite talent across world football.

Injecting genuine championship pedigree into a developing roster remains essential for the demanding coaching staff. The serial winner plans to utilize his vast European experience to actively guide younger prospects. Everyone connected to this historic club demands a successful domestic campaign this year.
