Alex McLeish applauded his former Rangers star Mikel Arteta for the job he is doing at Arsenal - joking he taught him "everything he knows" about management.

McLeish brought Arteta to the UK from Barcelona in 2002 and he spent two years at Rangers before taking the Premier League by storm, via a stop off in his homeland at Real Sociedad.

He went in to become an icon at Everton and Arsenal, captaining the latter before moving into coaching under Pep Guardiola at Manchester City.

He made an emotional return to Arsenal as Unai Emery's successor in 2019 and while it hasn't all been plain-sailing, the Gunners' insistence on standing by him through thick and thin looks to be paying off.
