Explaining his absence, he said: "I found out about the pre-season camp to Portugal with the lads, but my wife is due to give birth any time.

"I had a couple of chats with Matty Peet about it, umming and ahhing about what would be best, if to go for a short period or not.

“We decided it was best to stay at home, just in case anything did happen.

"Training wise, I’m still doing my stuff, coming in for the gym here at Robin Park and training with the academies in the afternoon.

"I’m not missing out on training in that way.”
