And the best player you have ever played against? Danny Murphy. I played against him in a pre season game when he was at Liverpool. He taught me a lesson on how to keep possession, and overall movement and awareness, on a football park. Tell us about your best goal in a Rose jersey? I've not scored many but it has to be away to St. Andrews. We were 1-0 down when I scored a free kick to make it 1-1 and we went on to win 2-1. And your luckiest goal? Maybe my fluke a few weeks ago at Carnoustie or Bonnyrigg away last season... Who would play alongside you in your fantasy midfield? I would pick Zidane to play alongside me in midfield. He’s a class act and played the game so laid back. Who has the best banter in the dressing room? Calum Smith has the best dressing room banter – but only because he's not allowed to speak in the house and never shuts up when he’s at the football to make up for it! Tank is probably a close second – he always seems to put a smile on everyone's face with his antics... he’s not the brightest guy. Which is better - Ovy's taste in music or Calum's taste in clothes? It has to be Calum's taste in clothes - he always looks a million dollars and loves a pocket hankie. Which Linlithgow fixture do you most look forward to in our league season? I really look forward to the Bo'ness derby game at Bo’ness – the atmosphere is amazing, but it has to be Newtongrange away for me. They are my hometown team so there’s added pressure with friends and family watching and the constant shouts of abuse from the stands.
