“This is a club going places. There are not many clubs you can go to who can realistically achieve playing in Europe.
“This is a huge club in a brilliant city. It hasn’t been ideal not having fans, that’s kind of killed my short stay here so far.
“But I want to experience European nights, full houses under the lights here at Easter Road.
“That was the aim at the start of the season and we’re still on track for that.
“When you play down in England, in the Championship like I had been, getting into Europe isn’t something you even think about.
“It’s not going to happen when you are in those leagues, so it is a pull Scottish football has. Players want to play on that stage and, as a club, it helps to attract people up here.

“Getting into Europe, and hopefully doing it regularly, would be massive for the club. It has to be a big target here now.”
