Bruce said: “Callum Wilson's never played in front of them before – this is his first time.

“You think of last year, and how absolutely rotten it was.

"A big well done to them – 3,300.

"The one thing we can never, ever do with them is take them for granted.

"They're an unbelievable, unique support.

"Not many clubs will have that kind of support for a pre-season friendly. Unbelievable."
