Summary
There's not many more illustrious careers in the game than our guest's this week as Alex McLeish chats with Si about his days as a player and manager at the top level of British and European football.
This includes stories from his days playing under Sir Alex Ferguson in his historic Aberdeen team that saw them sweep domestic honours and clinch the club's most famous victory - the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1983 vs Real Madrid.
We also discuss Alex's time in management from making his name at Motherwell and Hibs to winning 2 of Rangers' most dramatic title victories as well as a treble at Ibrox before going into detail about the ups and downs of both his spells taking charge of the Scottish National Team.
