Jason Cummings has a reputation as a joker but he is getting down to serious business, not least because he's attending a fan day at a club that was ravaged by the autumn floods in Brisbane. But, in the searing September head Down Under, the Australia national team new boy is taking it in his stride, complete with Socceroos tracksuit, as everyone wants to have a chat with him.
The 27-year-old enjoys a laugh with the locals. He has always has enjoyed a laugh - sometimes too much, which has landed him in trouble before. In fact, that is the very reason he ended up leaving Scotland for Down Under after carving out a decent career on both sides of the border.
Cummings appeared on stage, dressed as The Joker, at the Hydro during an Open Goal event before a game with Dundee and was sent home from training by James McPake the following day. Cummings protests he did nothing wrong to this day. Whatever the truth, the fact is Cummings never played for Dundee again and ended up moving to Australia in January. To Gosford and the Central Coast Mariners. With an Australian-born mum, he was free to enter.
