I think its a long time since weve done the double header, so a lot of people were expecting us to fail, so thats another hurdle climbed.When you go on a run of games or you win a special game, you cant wait for the next one and, even though it came three days later, it couldnt come quick enough for the guys with the way they played in Albania.We had a bit of a scare at the end but we did it, the players managed the game extremely well at the end and Im so proud of them.Listen back toAlex McLeish on the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast IN FULL above!
