Management career

Motherwell

After his successful playing career he quickly went into football management with Motherwell in 1994.[2] His first season at Motherwell saw him take the Lanarkshire club to second in the Premier League behind Walter Smith's Rangers.[2] However, he failed to build on this success and the next two season were spent in relegation battles.

Hibernian

McLeish took over a struggling Hibernian side, which was relegated from the Scottish Premier Division in 1998 despite a slight upturn in fortunes under McLeish. He then guided the Edinburgh team back to the Scottish Premier League at the first attempt by winning the First Division championship.[2] Scottish Premier League logo The Scottish Premier League (also known as the Bank of Scotland Premierleague for sponsorship reasons or the SPL for short) is the top division within the current structure of Scottish football. ...

Hibernian consolidated in their first season back in the top division, finishing mid-table and reaching the Scottish Cup semi-final.[2] In the 2000/01 season, Hibs started very strongly. Eventually they had to settle for third place and a Scottish Cup final appearance.[2] This performance attracted the attention of bigger clubs, including West Ham United and Rangers.

Rangers

McLeish was an instant success at Rangers, winning both the Scottish Cup[6] and Scottish League Cup[7] in his first season, but the big prize of the league title was essentially lost before his arrival.

Rangers' worsening financial state saw many of his top players leave in the summer of 2003. Celtic won the league comfortably in season 2003/2004, and Rangers failed to win any trophies.[9] McLeish was consequently put under pressure from fans after his poor signings and a record run of seven consecutive derby losses to Celtic.[10] Celtic Football Club is a Scottish football club, competing in the Scottish Premier League, the highest form of competition in Scotland. ...

The high profile Bosman signings of Jean-Alain Boumsong and Dado Pršo in the close season of 2004-05 gave Rangers renewed hope of regaining the title from Celtic's grasp.[11] McLeish's team won the 2005 league title on a dramatic last day, an outcome that had looked highly unlikely after Rangers fell five points behind leaders Celtic with just four games remaining.

After this unexpected success, McLeish and his Rangers team headed into the 2005/06 SPL campaign as favourites to retain the championship. McLeish made a number of signings, despite having little money to spend. These included Julien Rodriguez and Ian Murray. After a reasonable start to the season, including a win over Celtic,[13] Rangers suffered a series of poor results between September and November. This period included a club record of 10 games without a win. However the tenth match of this run, a 1-1 draw with Inter Milan in the Champions League, took Rangers into the knockout stages of the tournament for the first time.[14] Competitive football has been played in Scotland since 1890 The 2005-06 season was the 109th season of competitive football in Scotland. ...

Despite the poor domestic form, McLeish guided Rangers to the last 16 of the Champions League, where they were defeated on the away goals rule by Villarreal.[15] They became the first Scottish team to progress this far in the European Cup since 1993, and the first Scottish team to progress through a European group stage.[14] In December, chairman David Murray publicly announced his support for McLeish.[16] Rangers then went on a good run of results in December and January.

This run of good results came to a sudden halt when they were defeated 3-0 by Hibernian in the Scottish Cup,[17] prompting protests outside Ibrox against both of McLeish and David Murray.[18] On 9 February 2006, the increasing supporters unrest and protests caused Rangers chairman David Murray to announce that Alex McLeish had had his contract teminated with notice at the end of the season.[19] is the 40th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. ...

McLeish's Scotland side then went on to defeat the Faroe Islands away in June,[25] Lithunia at home in September[26] before recording a historic victory in Paris 4 days later by defeating France 1-0 in the Parc des Princes.[27] James McFadden's 64th minute strike from 30 yards was enough to earn Scotland the win and returned them to the top of Group B with three games to play. This result has been hailed as one of the Scotland national team's greatest victories.[28] The Parc des Princes (translation: Princes Park) is a 48527 capacity stadium in the 16th arrondissement of Paris. ...

McLeish ended the Ibrox club's recent trophy drought by collecting the CIS Insurance cup in March, but perhaps more importantly has instilled a spirit in the team that appeared to be missing towards the end of Advocaat's reign.
