Yes, in terms of the total football and imagination, ... I had asked for more from certain players and we got that. The front six were fantastic.

I hope my body holds up, I still have another 18 months left on my contract at Celtic and I have had a decent start with eight goals already in 10 games so I will just keep going.

To get 50 caps you have to go through highs and lows - and I certainly had a few - it has never been rosy but to be still here, as well as enjoying good times at Celtic is very pleasing.

I try and hold up the ball in the same kind of role as [them], though obviously not at the same standard yet. That's the kind of role I'd be looking to fill in the future.

When you are playing with good players, it doesn't matter if they are Argentinian, German, Welsh or whatever. Good players can join in and understand their team-mates on the pitch. In most of our games, you can't hear what the other lads are saying anyway, because of the noise of the crowd. I'm sure Shunsuke will want to learn English so he can enjoy the other lads' company, but there are so many Japanese people here watching him that he isn't going to be lonely.

It's a sad day for me because I've always loved playing for my country and representing the Welsh people. I always feel enormous pride whenever I pull on a Wales shirt and will always cherish the memories. Now I've made this decision I'll be concentrating 100 per cent on doing the best I can for Celtic. Hopefully, this will allow me to really enjoy the final few years of my career.
