Surprised that this is the first comment! Question: was the prospect of Rangers winning the league last year "laughed off for the previous three months by the Scottish media?" Maybe people were reading different papers from me, but as I recall it, the papers were saying that O'Neill's Celtic were too old, that one more win would be too much for them, that O'Neill's concentration wasn't there because of his wife's illness etc. Didn't Rangers have quite a healthy lead over Celtic at one point, which they squandered in the last few games before the spilt? I do remember that some of the papers "handed" Celtic the title after they went 5 points ahead with 4 games to go, but I also remember some papers saying that this would lead them into a false sense of security. Perhaps someone could find a couple of references? Camillus (talk) 02:17, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
Wikipedia's page on the Champions League, echoing the official information from UEFA, states that the CL began in 1955. Hibernian FC reached the semi final that year. Dundee, Dundee United and Rangers have also reached the semi final. Celtic have won the competition. Unless the final or semi final is somehow not "the knockout stage", this "first Scottish team" line really must be excised.
Isn't this just a wee bit ungenerous? While McLeish may not go down in history as Rangers best or favourite manager, surely his successes with Rangers (7 trophies in 5 years), outstrip anything he achieved at MFC or Hibs? Camillus (talk) 16:44, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
The statement that McLeish won 7 and drew 3 out of ten games in charge of Scotland is plain wrong. Scotland lost to Georgia and Italy under McLeish. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.157.235.103 (talk) 23:28, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
I'm sure he announced he was resigning, not having his contract terminated? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.35.213.226 (talk) 20:48, 1 May 2007 (UTC).
Despite going onto manage Rangers, McLeish grew up a boyhood Celtic fan. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.76.93.139 (talk) 20:29, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
Alex McLeish is not a player therefore he is not in the squad of Birmingham City. Therefore the edit has been deleted again.Paul210 22:40, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

"Some people are tipping him to take the job at Manchester United when his mentor Sir Alex Ferguson eventually retires." O rly? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.39.90.209 (talk) 11:20, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Within the Aston Villa section, it states that Alex McLeish "currently holds the record for being statistically the worst manager of Aston Villa, with a win percentage of only 21.4%." This is inaccurate as the statistics for being the 'worst manager' is not reflected upon win %age. Also, this is very out-of-date as there have been 3 managers since Alex McLeish that has a worse winning %age than him. My suggestion is to remove this line entirely.
Immediately before this, there is a line "and set an unwanted club record of only four home wins." Again, this is now out-of-date information and should be removed.
