00:00It is what it is. At the end we have to accept the challenge and the opportunities for other
00:06players as well to do that. In the ideal scenario we have to be in charge of making those decisions
00:12because it's forcing us to make it for the wrong reasons but as well we need to accept
00:17the reality and move forward.
00:19I'm really happy the way we are playing and the good thing is that it's not conditioning
00:22the team in such a way that we have to become a different team. So I'm very pleased with
00:27that, the way the team is adapting, the way players are making the effort to play in different
00:31positions and hopefully the ideal situation will come up very soon and we can do what
00:37we want.
00:38With so many players potentially missing a full back, could be an opportunity for Kieran
00:42Tierney to come back into the team? He's obviously been away and absent for so long. Is he ready
00:46to start straight away?
00:47Yeah, he's ready. He's trained really well and he's going to have an opportunity for
00:50sure. The way the team is looking at the moment, he's going to do that for that reason and
00:55because he's earned it as well. The way he's behaved, the way he's been with us, because
00:59he's willing to do it and when that happens you have to give opportunities to those kind
01:04of players.
