Gordon Strachan: "I'd say to any manager in the bottom 10 (in the Premier League) just now, if you say to the chairman 'I can keep you in that division for four years, would you accept it?' I think he would.
"Southampton was a wonderful, wonderful experience and I enjoyed every minute of it.
"Celtic was truly fantastic and I hope that this can be as enjoyable because I like to enjoy myself when I'm working.
"I spoke to Gordon McQueen (Boro scout), there are one or two players we're trying to get sorted out but we've not got to the January thing."
