    There was also the triumph of 2020 and the end of 30 years of hurt at Anfield as Jurgen Klopp’s boys won the Premier League title.

    Meanwhile waiting for him back home in Glasgow is another, very different award.

    For the defender has been granted lifetime honorary membership of Cathcart Castle Golf Club in recognition of his achievements in football.

    Achievements that may never have been accomplished were it not for his passion for golf.

    As a 15-year-old with a handicap of five he captained the club’s junior section and many predicted that he could go on to become a top pro.

    It was also at that same age that a fellow member kicked his footballing career out of the rough after he had been dumped from Celtic’s academy in 2009.

    He was considered too small to make it and feared that his dream was over before it had even begun.

    That was where Cathcart Castle’s junior team manager John McCallum came in.

    He revealed: “When Celtic let Andy go he came to me for a chat. He was a bit distressed about it all.

    “I told him that, whilst it might have felt like it, it wasn’t necessarily the end of the world.

    “At the same time I had a word with somebody at the golf club who was involved at Queen’s Park.

    “I dropped a hint that Andy had been released by Celtic and that they should maybe take a look at him.”
