It was tough. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe signed Joey Barton, Clint Hill, and Niko Kranjcar, so we had big personalities. Joey was spouting his mouth, \u2018Oh, we are going to win.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd battering Scott Brown in the press. \u2018It\u2019s only Scotland.

It\u2019s getting out there.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cScott gave him the absolute run around. It was a tough day. It was hard because there were exceptions on us. I think the gaffer found it hard.
