A seven-hour drive from Glasgow to Brighton isn't particularly exciting. It's a good time to reflect. And it could end up proving the perfect catalyst for Shane Duffy to rebuild his career.
Duffy is a defender with a capital D. Brighton's player of the year in 2019 had found the two years since tough going, under boss Graham Potter, until his man-of-the-match showing in Saturday's win at Burnley on the Premier League's opening weekend.
A common view is that his old-fashioned defending is incompatible with Potter's passing philosophy. That has always been denied by the manager, although actions have spoken rather more loudly than words: the towering centre-back was given only 12 league starts across Potter's first two years in charge.

There has been more to it than style. Duffy was shipped off to boyhood club Celtic on loan last season, but joining a club in crisis, dealing with the passing of his father and living alone in Glasgow during a global pandemic did nothing to rebuild his confidence after losing his place at Brighton. The spell was mistake-ridden and after February 14 he failed to make another league start.
Duffy's career was at a crossroads, having already hit "rock bottom" as he recently told Sussex Live, until the 28-year-old realised things had reached now-or-never territory as he left Celtic's Lennoxtown training base for the final time and faced the long journey back to England's south coast, where his prospects appeared just as rocky.
