When we won the league for the first time in 1993 I didn’t want the team to slacken off. That thought appalled me. I was determined to keep advancing. To strengthen our hold on power.

I told that 1993 side that some people, when they have a holiday, just want to go to Saltcoats, a small town twenty-five miles along the coast from Glasgow.

Some people don’t even want to do that. They’re happy to stay at home or watch the birds and the ducks float by in the park.

And some want to go to the fucking moon.

It’s all about ambition.
