But even just that level of energy, the level of sort of meaningfulness about this Premier League title for so many people, that kind of caught me off guard a little bit.

I'm not sure, maybe the cultural importance of Arsenal, you completely distill down to the idea of them being perennial second placers as they have been over the past couple of years.

And then the entire club gets wrapped up in that and your view of the club gets wrapped up in that.

But actually over these past couple of days, it kind of felt like something really important.

Absolutely, absolutely.

And it's not for the 90 minutes in a game.

If you live in Glasgow, it's for every part of your life.

Every time you step out your front door, every time you turn on the TV, every time you pick up any sort of media, whether it's social media or wider media, you're going to read it.

So it's impossible to not know what's going on.

It's impossible to not feel it.

And then in particular, when you are playing football,

The difference between the crowds, the start of the year to now is just, it's vast, it's huge.

And I think sometimes people would wonder what does that really mean?

How does it really affect things?

At a club like Celtic, everything's just constantly under the microscope.

You're living in such an intense environment that it makes a massive difference.

So as I said, now having them back on side, having all the other bits and pieces kind of coming back as well with the players I've mentioned,

yeah, they're just fine in the right form at the right time.

Yeah, when you do come out, you do, yeah, there's a...

a rehab stage that you have to go through to kind of come back to normal life and realise there's more than just Celtic, Rangers, the kind of, yeah, as I said, the intensity of it.
