Every time I've come away with Scotland I've learned and improved.
Every young kid growing up playing football dreams of playing in those big famous stadiums.
Everyone just needs to be his own man.
Going to places like Tynecastle, where you're so close to the crowd, you get reminded how ugly you are and stuff like that!
Hibs are such a brilliant club, amazing training ground, good coaches, and a great platform for Scottish players to get better.
Hopefully I can challenge myself and establish myself as a Premier League player for Aston Villa.
I feel as if I'm getting better all the time. At the same time, though, I'm ambitious.
I feel loved at Hibs and I've loved my time here.
I like to win the ball back for the team and I can contribute going forward.
I remember when I was training with St Mirren as a young boy Ralston was my Hampden and my Wembley.
I think everyone will agree that it doesn't matter how we get to an international tournament. We are going to do whatever it takes.
I want to play for Scotland at a major tournament, that is the dream and the drive for me.
I was fortunate to be able to go to the Scotland games with my grandad and it's scary to think I could now be playing in one.
I won't jump two-footed into something without really thinking about it.
I'd been with Saints for 13 years, so it was always going to be a bit strange going back for the first time.
People do like to talk us down, it's a Scottish thing. We are pessimistic, we look for the negatives all the time.
Sometimes you just need a wee bit time away from football to freshen things up.
Scoring at the big stadiums in Glasgow is something I have dreamed about doing since I was a wee boy and now I have managed to do that.
You just want to prove people wrong and, over time, people start believing in you.
That is what all the top players do and if you want to be the best you know you are going to get marked.
The refs try their best. Sometimes they get it right. Sometimes they get it wrong.
I've never hidden the fact I'm ambitious at some point.
When you have a good relationship with a manager, and he leaves, it is disappointing.
Sometimes in football you have to take risks.
We do our best to keep our feet on the ground and that's how it will remain.
If you've not got the doubts to go and prove people wrong, that's when you get into that comfort zone and stop progressing.
When I broke into the St Mirren team thing went pretty well for me and I managed to hit the ground running.
It doesn't matter the level whether it is League Two or anywhere, you want to win games.
When you come to a club like Hibs not everyone can handle it, there's pressure in every single game to get results.
