The support and positivity I felt from the first minute I arrived gave me the confidence to learn, improve and perform," said the rookie. Watt also added warm words to the fans: "Hopefully I've put a smile on the faces of the fans. My family and I will be forever grateful and will always watch the team play; hopefully we'll be back soon - I don't think I'll be able to keep my boys away from Fir Park for much longer," he added.
