Never met Derek personally but he always had a wee head nod and 'hiya' for me and Motherwellarab if he seen us outside away grounds (you start to recognise familiar faces over the years i guess).Also attended one or two Q+A's over the years he was at.One he attended with Houstie on a cold,late Sunday night in November in a wee Glasgow pub.You remember wee things like that.
Sad to hear anyman has passed still relatively young.That it's a seemingly very nice man just makes it that wee bit sadder.
RIP Derek.Thoughts with all his family.

Had meetings with Derek a few times about a year 18 month ago when he was leading research into Pat Reilly and Tom Timmons. God bless his wife and kids.
Sad news.
Let's stay up AND win the cup in his memory!

Really sad news. Like many others I met Derek a couple of times (for example the day after we won the cup in 2010) and he was a real gent.

Never heard anybody say anything bad about him, that's the biggest compliment I can pay him.
No more pain Derek, enjoy looking down on us at Hampden.

The club has badly missed Derek's communication skills, enthusiasm and commitment over the past year.
As Arab Plumber states, never heard a bad word said about him, very sorry to hear of his passing.
Hopefully his family find comfort by the tributes people are paying to the man.
