Barry Douglas has recently spoken out about his time at Leeds United so far, paying homage to the atmosphere at the club right now and how he hopes the team can deliver a happy ending come May.

The 29-year-old was asked by LUTV about how the Whites compare to Wolverhampton Wanderers, his employers last time last season, whom he helped up into the Premier League by winning the Championship.

Douglas refused to answer that question, saying they can’t be compared and admitting he had been asked that question “a hundred times”, before focusing firmly on the present, ie the current state of affairs at Elland Road.
