The former Celtic and Scotland defender was appointed as Exeter manager two weeks ago and drew his first game in charge 0-0 away at Derby County.

"It's my job to push them and show them areas they can improve and drive them to be better, and I think we can be better.

"We've got work to do on the training pitch, but it's work I believe that these players are looking forward to and will embrace, so I'm just looking forward to the weeks and months ahead."
