But he has not come to watch a game in 18 months as a result of fan protests against the club’s ownership and board, of which he was a non-executive director.

In an interview with The Scotsman, he said: “I just think too much has gone on. It’s not the same.”

“I just think the way things happened … it’s a difficult one. To be treated the way we were, was awful. 

“People don’t know what went on but they were quick to make a judgment and could not be further from the truth. I just think the stick that I got was totally undeserved, and I thought – nah, I don’t need it.”
