McLaren a happy man, despite being left out!

Xanthi 0 Middlesbrough 0 (Middlesbrough win 2-0 on agg)

McClaren watched a large part of the 0-0 draw which secured Boro’s place in the group stage of the UEFA Cup among a crowd of 5,013 after the fourth official could not find his name on the list of accredited representatives and repeatedly waved him away.

However, he ended the evening a happy man as his side held out comfortably to book themselves at least four more games in the competition.
