The Scotland international has forced his way back into the team after injuries gave him an opportunity, and is the top scorer on six goals.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018There\u2019s always speculation and different things surrounding every player,\u2019 he added. \u2018You have to perform to stay there, I\u2019ve known that since being a young boy watching the senior pros here and the academy players. For me, it was get my head down and work hard.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The faith in the manager has been a massive one for me. You want to repay that when you get minutes. That\u2019s the life of a footballer, you will get ups and downs, and it\u2019s not always sunshine and rainbows.
