I'm never going to question the fans.
Don't get me wrong: it's unbelievable getting linked with big clubs. That's where you want to go; of course it is.
I'm not a person who wants to be the centre of attention or anything like that.
Look at the English league. Everyone down there backs it. That's why it's so highly spoken of. If Scottish football can do that, it will make it a lot more appealing to some fans who are maybe not coming.
I don't make any secret of it - I hate not playing.
It's great being a dad. It's like anyone, if things aren't going well at work, and you go home and see your missus and kid, then it cheers you up straight away.
Just before I left Dundee United, I captained them for one game, although I think that was maybe to keep me there!
I've been very fortunate that I've played under a lot of very good captains.
Once you get a feeling for trophies and going far in European tournaments with your club, then you want to replicate that with your country.
When you get the armband, everyone looks to you to lead, and when things go wrong, then you get criticised the most, and I need to take that on the chin.
Sometimes, the fact is that you need to think of your health - because what use is it for Ryan Fraser to try and be a hero for one game, then end up out for six months?
I've never thought that being Scottish should mean there was any kind of barrier to me getting where I wanted to go, and I still feel like I can keep improving.
It seems to be a big thing to people that a Scottish player is going to play in the Champions League final, but hopefully that will become a more regular thing.
I think, as a country, that we can be quite harsh on ourselves.
I just try to take everything in my stride.
Everything I get praised for, I can still work on and get better.
There is no point in getting nervous. I get a few butterflies in my stomach, but it isn't really nerves but things that will help your game.
The people who sadly stay in on a Saturday - and I include myself in there - look forward to 'Match of the Day.'
There are lots of different people who use food banks - from young parents to older people.
My brother and I had Henrik Larsson posters everywhere.
