The Englishman has had to be patient for first team opportunities this season, with Wednesday’s match seeing him make his first league start in four months, having played just a single minute of Premiership football in the meantime. The 22-year-old, affectionately known as ‘fridge‘ by some ‘Gers fans, has made only nine appearances for the club so far following his arrival from Oldham last summer.

These Light Blues supporters on Twitter voiced their delight with the defender after his big moment against Hibernian:

What a performance from you last night big man you strolled it #thefridge ⚪️

Keep it up lad. You should have been starting games long ago, you always play well whenever you get the opportunity. Big future ahead of you!
