I never believed I would be in this position and I was unsure to publicise my struggles however, the clearer my head becomes the more I see the struggle in others. Please seek help. I did ๐ค๐ฝ๐๐๐ป

@BackOnside
Thank you
@CelticFC
made the wee manโs year. Couldnโt be more thankful to all the players and management team for their time. First time Iโve seen Myles act shy ๐
Zero beer, zero issues!!!
Over 500 days sober and couldnโt be happier. Do I miss my old man? Every single day, but the poison would make me miss him more and mess with my mental health. Another amazing holiday with the most important people ๐๐ค
Yesterday we laid a wonderful man to rest. Our dad will be sorely missed.
We would like to thank everyone for their prayers, cards and support during this difficult time.

1๏ธโฃ6๏ธโฃ months sober ๐๐ป
Similar to my football career I was doubted that I couldnโt achieve my goal ๐ช๐ฝ
Sad that we live in a society were some are happy to see others fail ๐ค
Surround yourself with people who support you so you donโt ๐ค๐ฝ
Gym & Cup final day ahead โฝ๏ธ๐

Could not be in a better place, mentally and celebrating another milestone today.
I used to work so hard to manage my goals daily however I am now stronger and make healthier choices to progress my path monthly.

Before Kick Off today we paid our respects to the father of Sean & Anthony Higgins who sadly passed away earlier in the week we would like to send Our condolences to the family & our thoughts are with you all
Life can can change very quickly. 3 years ago today we all couldnโt be happier. Spend as much time with family and friends as possible and enjoy every minute ๐๐
2 years sober today!!
Iโm fortunate I can enjoy holidays and nights out without being MWI then suffering mentally & physically for weeks.
These pics were before I lost my dad which is when my intake of poison escalated.
Worst place ever & wouldnโt wish it on anyway. Thank God
Thank you everyone for your messages. I am fortunate I had the support to gain the strength to have days like this. I hope those who are in need, receive that too and have the courage to get help ๐ค๐ฝ๐๐ป
People that are consistently in the gym are pissed off cause itโs busier in January. You donโt own it ya sausage. That personโs anxieties might be through the roof just getting there. Donโt need a steroid weapon to make it harder for them. Encourage them
Give this a read & RT
@BackOnside
have been amazing & played an integral role with family & friends in my recovery. I knew I needed help but like others, ashamed to ask & I wish I asked sooner.
We all have hard times, so please talk to someone
It could save your life

Despite Derby having a 21 point deduction, injury problems and a transfer embargo, they have moved off the bottom of the Championship table and are just 9 points from safety.
What an unbelievable job Wayne Rooney is doing ๐
2๏ธโฃ0๏ธโฃ years ago today I made my debut for
@RossCounty
against Arbroath in 4-0 win, disguised as Gareth Gates. Amazing memories in a career that I am proud of. Iโve been lucky enough to meet some incredible people, Neale Cooper being one, who believed in me at 17.โค๏ธ๐๐ปโฝ๏ธ
Unfortunately due to family and work commitments Iโve had to step down as player/assistant
@RossvaleJFC
and take time away from football. Thanks to
@daveygormz
the coaching staff and players for their support & efforts. Good luck to the club in the future โฝ๏ธ
Couldnโt thank everyone involved anymore especially the management team and players when going through a difficult period personally. Iโve been fortunate to be involved in football for 20years so itโs family time out with work. My son needs a father like I had. Good luck team๐๐
Darvel FC this morning confirm that
@seanhiggins1984
has left the management team at the club due to work and family commitments.
Everyone at the club thank Sean for his services and wish him the very best for the future.
Not the result for
@DundeeFC
and we probably wonโt be invited back. However, a massive thank you to everyone for the warm welcome, hospitality and nice to share memories from my time at the club ๐
We're delighted to confirm the appointment of Sean Higgins as our new assistant manager.
Sean will take up the role and continue to be available for the club in a playing capacity.
#bankies
Thank you for everyoneโs support. It was a difficult story to share but Iโm glad I did. I am so grateful I have so many good people in my life that care. If I can possibly help anyone please donโt hesitate to get in touch๐
Horrific news. What a boy. Argued with him every day in training. Great ability and another character that was misunderstood. Iโll never forget the time he sprinted down Dunblane Hydro hill and disappeared quicker than he was and thatโs saying something. RIP Ads ๐๐๐ป
Iโm certainly not a Scrooge but this time of year is getting worse every year. People stressed out there banger, getting themselves in debt and others canโt afford to put their heating on. Scunnered with all the shite that comes with it for one day
Anyone giving Robertson it right can do one. We won League one with County and played Airdrie away midweek. I ran the ball out the park with no one near me ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ๐คช
Delighted to be back involved with a club with great ambition. Thanks to
@Mickkennedy1904
and the club for the opportunity and understanding my situation regarding family and work. Back working with

@seanhiggins1984
People ask me why I am not involved in football anymore. This is the main reason Iโve left my love for the game behind. 20 years of uncertainty & disappointment that family & friends all went through. I love the game but weโre all healthier enjoying it in other ways!!
Amazing. The young team who have probably not made an appearance in the lower leagues would hardly lift a marker and this guys has played at the top for 20 years ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ
Another bizarre interview from Derek which is embarrassing for everyone involved at County & Scottish football overall. Give Don Cowie the job. He will get the best out the group of players by his approach, completely the opposite to this ๐คก
"Is the job a bigger one than you first thought?" ๐ค๐

A massive thank you to Libby &

for their continued support with my own mental health issues. Libby and her colleagues make it easy to speak about things I hadnโt been able to do before. Iโm now in a much better place and now making positive choices

This was standard at HT if you werenโt performing or working hard enough. Only certain characters can deal with this but he got the reaction he was looking for. Be surprised if heโs the only one dishing it out. More of it imo ๐ค๐ฝ
Another gent has hung his boots up this summer. Blessed to share a dressing room, house and call you my friend. Congratulations on your career. What a pro and what a guy

Back to Dens today for first time since playing against
@DundeeFC
ten years ago ๐. Tough game at home to Hearts who might have a European hangover from Thursday. Hopefully see a few familiar faces and a positive result ๐
Never loved Guinness but my old manโs favourite. First family trip away without him. So hereโs a wee 0% to start off in Ireland ๐ฎ๐ช ๐๐๐ป
A step too far today for us.
@ArbroathFC
not surprisingly very well organised under Dick and pink. It helps when you have momentum and big thunder paws
@Robert__Douglas
not giving the boys or ref a minute ๐ฅด Good luck in the next round and hopefully yous get promoted ๐๐ผ
Happy New Year troops.
Another sober festive period.
New goals set but top of the list is spending time with these two aswell as friends & family.

Spent a lot of quality time together getting through the past few months, which have been difficult for everyone. This young man has been a pleasure though. Great to see him buzzing going back to school today. Bored of his old man weeks ago.

Unbelievable strength from Ally McCoist but not a surprise from a top man. Had the pleasure to meet Walter Smith during my County days when he delivered a session with Alex Smith. A gentleman. May he rest in peace ๐๐ป
โHe was my boss, my coach, my second father. He became one of my best friends.โ
โIt canโt take away the pain and grief.โ ๐
Ally McCoist pays an emotional tribute to
#RangersFC
legend Walter Smith. ๐
After a stressful day at work, my first thought used to be have a glass of wine or 3 to manage. Not any more, and feeling good. Going well just now but come the winter it could be even more challenging but up for it as always

if you find a part time manager that works harder at any any level than him chap my door ๐๐๐โฝ๏ธ
Big day ahead. Sun is out for the wee manโs first holy communion. So hard that my dad wonโt be with us today. First real family event and will feel odd ๐
Anyway weโre all going to be positive and have a great day ๐ซถ๐ผ๐๐ป๐

Everyone at Dundee Football Club was devastated to learn of the passing of Honorary Club President and 1962 Scottish League championship winning goalkeeper Pat Liney at the age of 86.
Good luck to Cammy

tonight. Great lad who deserves a great night for his commitment to the Dee. From ball boy to a legend. What every kid dreams of doing with the team they support growing up ๐
When a sibling wasnโt appearing wee Paddy stepped up for Myles. Never thought Iโd be able to get a dog with my asthma but thank god Poochonโs were created to give us all this joy ๐
The Legends Guest this Saturday in hospitality for the Hibs match will be Sean Higgins. You will hear some great stories from Sean about his time at Dundee.
Hospitality for this weekend is sold out, along with hospitality for Celtic on 26th December.

This week has been a hard one with everyday life. Iโm more than aware I have a great life but my mental health questions that at times. Thankfully through consistency in my routine Iโve found ways to outweigh the negative thoughts with positive ones to progress into next week๐ช๐ฝ
Hard to watch Paul Merson there and others sharing their stories of loosing loved ones due to gambling addictions . Scary what sites know about people. Somethings got to change to help addicts, not encourage addicts to continue to bet
Poor game for the wee mans 1st. Big Ajer at 20 is promising, had the cigars out. Boyata mom ๐คanyway wee man was bored after half hour but a proud day for myself โค๏ธ
We can tonight confirm Sean Higgins has left the club.
Higgy joined the club as player/coach last summer, before stepping up to assistant manager at the turn of the year.
We'd like to thank Sean for his efforts during his time with the club and wish him all the very best.
Next up to tell us about his (playing)
