I think it'll be very close to fair again.

And I'm hoping Rangers can edge it.

They're going for, is it nine in a row this year, or eight in a row, Celtic?

You're saying, yeah, you don't know either.

There's a range of supporters, I don't want to know about that, but I know they're pushing on with so many in a row, so we've somehow got to bring that to an end.

Very difficult, extremely difficult, because...

When you're a player, you only have to really look after yourself, and then you go into management, and then you've got 30 players' welfare that you have to have an eye on, not necessarily on a day-to-day basis be involved in solving the problems, but certainly be aware of the problems, and you've hopefully got staff that can take care of that, but you're aware of it, and then...

you know, the non-footballing side of things, which at that time I was player manager, I had to get involved in.

So it was all consuming.

It was very, very difficult.

And on top of that, you've still got to try and stay fit to perform on a Saturday.

So it's very, very difficult.

A great deal would depend on the support you have around you.

In my case, I had Walter Smith, who was a great help to me, and the chairman and the...

other people at the club, so I had enormous help.

I would say at a big club today, it would be nigh on impossible, I think, because of what's involved in football today.

I think it can happen in the lower leagues.

But even there's a gap between if you're talking about... I mean, Rangers are a big football club.

Celtic are a big football club.

And the pressures of being manager alone are enormous.
