McLeish looks to Old Trafford for secret of success

RANGERS manager Alex McLeish has sought advice from his mentor Alex Ferguson about how to reach the next stage of the Champions League.

McLeish insisted it was early days when asked whether the Scottish champions could negotiate the group stage for the first time.

But a 2-1 Ibrox win over Stuttgart on Wednesday night has made that a very real possibility, especially as the Germans were regarded as their strongest rivals for second place in a group that already sees Manchester United at its summit.
