MATCHDAY QUOTES

"Hodge has never played better than he is doing at the moment.

"My intention is to keep him here because he is playing well and scoring important goals.

“I want him to be here and doing that for a very long time.

"He has stood up to stick from the fans and they are appreciating that he is playing well."

Billy McNeill.
