McLeish facing sack after grim start to Euro 2020 qualifying

Alex McLeish could be relieved of his duties as Scotland manager by the end of the week following a nightmare start to the Euro 2020 qualifying campaign.

The Colombian forward - who left his homeland for Finland as a teenager - will tell his story to Rangers TV, in a feature called Soy Alfredo (I am Alfredo).

The preview clip showed the 22-year-old walking down the tunnel, saying: “It’s an awesome adrenaline. It isn’t fear or nerves.

“I feel so much more motivated to do things right, to win, to get three points at home, to play well there, to prove to our fans that we are ready to give them a show regardless of who we are playing against.” (Various)

Hoban open to Dons return

Tommie Hoban is refusing to rule out a return to Aberdeen - but the crocked Watford defender insists he needs to focus on regaining fitness. Hoban played just nine games for the Dons as he suffered two injury blows.

With his Watford deal up in the summer, Hoban said: “I loved my time at Aberdeen. The boys are great, the staff are brilliant and I enjoyed living up there with the family although it was shorter than we’d hoped.

“I would consider going back if it was an option. I don’t know if [Watford] will offer me anything or not but it doesn’t change what I know I need to do. I have to focus on getting fit.” (Daily Record)
