Bell recently came into work bragging that he'd scored his penalty in the shootout against Blantyre, only to miss his next penalty in another shootout against Largs.
Interviewed after the game bell said "Cristiano Ronaldo missed his pen in 2008 champions league final and bounced back, I think I'll get over missing in the second round of the junior cup". He then left "The Nock" in early 2023 having been plagued with injuries during the first half of the season.
