In the wake of Gordon Strachan's appointment as the new manager of Middlesbrough, ExtraFootie celebrates his return to English football by looking back at some of his classic interviews.

The feisty Scot is renowned for his direct responses and no-nonsense line in interviews, as demonstrated by this compilation of clips featuring his best lines during his time as manager of Southampton.

Strachan is seen giving stupid answers to stupid questions, taking a tough stance on mobile phones, relaying his pressing concerns over a yoghurt's expiry date and of course giving his cuttingly sarcastic responses to journalists' clichéd questions.

Here's what we can look forward to as wee man returns to the dugout at the Riverside Stadium just a few months after leaving Scottish giants Celtic, with whom he won three successive SPL titles between 2006 and 2008.



Meanwhile, here is some rare footage of Strachan in his first press conference as Celtic manager, with the Scot even more direct in his responses than usual, amongst other things, describing his new team in one word...Celtic!
