Unbeaten Boro determined to keep run going

MIDDLESBROUGH boss Steve McClaren headed for Stuttgart determined to go one better than last season’s UEFA Cup adventure.

The Teessiders made a good fist of their first European campaign when they went out to eventual finalists Sporting Lisbon in the last 16.

But having had a taste of it, they are desperate to go further this time around with crisis-club Stuttgart standing between them and a repeat of last year’s achievement and either Roma or FC Bruges waiting in the wings.
