00:00Right, Aidan, Elgin City debut. Is this your senior debut, your first match of senior football?

00:05And it's a winning start, you must be delighted.

00:06Very, and we deserved the win in the end, although we kind of made it hard for ourselves.

00:10I don't know how we were supposed to get it, but it was on board.

00:13It wasn't exactly the busiest of debuts for you, I mean, you were picking the ball out the net,

00:16it was one of the first actions of the game, albeit a very good finish from Higginbotham.

00:21Yeah, a very good finish, you know, when they go back across you, it doesn't matter how much you can do,

00:24but, yeah, it was relatively quiet at the back line, kind of done their job, made it easy for me, so I can't complain.

00:28I can see that that's something they want to keep continuing as long as they can, you know,

00:31we've got the game Tuesday, the game Saturday, so it's a good busy week to try and keep getting wins.

00:36What's the message been for you from Derek MacInnes as far as coming up here on the loan spell?

00:40Just enjoy it, learn football as much as you can, play against men, learn the hard side of the game,

00:46learn the more physical side of the game as well as progressing militarily, but just enjoy the time you have here.

00:51You've had a few loan spells out already in junior football,

00:54what's the differences you notice between the junior scene and playing SPFL?

00:57Just the standard of the players, you know, the loan spells at the juniors are more physicality,

01:03more rough and tumble, if you get what I mean, whereas here it's more get the ball down, play,

01:08a bit more back into it, a bit more thought about it, yeah.

01:12Apart from that, it's just game of football, isn't it?

01:15And, of course, you're up here with Keane as well, it always helps having one of your pals coming up with you,

01:20makes a journey a little bit easier, doesn't it?

01:22Oh, far easier, yeah, it was a long four hours and we managed to get a stop in,

01:25but, you know, somebody to talk to about music, get there in the end.

01:28You know, at 19 you need someone that can trust you, a team like League 2,

01:32that, you know, it's a good level to be playing at my age and to get constant game time,

01:37you know, to throw in juice or whatever, it's a good thing to have.

01:40Did you get, were you actually travelling with Komaric for any of the European games?

01:44Yeah, so I travelled to Belgium and Denmark, I was on the bench for the Bruges game at home,

01:48and Denmark away, the Copenhagen game.

01:51That's a great experience as well, isn't it?

01:53It's a different class, you know, getting to travel the day before, stay overnight,

01:56see the stadiums that you might never get to see again, you know, Copenhagen for me is a different class.

02:01Seeing the kind of star players that they have and then having the chance to go and live out it is a different class.

02:07So you're only 19 years of age and I'm sure the aim is to be part of that and be the number one goalkeeper in the future?

02:12Definitely, you know, I've still got plenty of time yet, so I don't want to get too ahead of myself,

02:16just keep playing football, keep enjoying it and learn it as much as I can.
