The late Jim McLean was one of the finest Scottish Managers that the game of football has ever seen.
He was given a great tribute by Neil Lennon in today’s press conference:
💬 NL on Jim McLean: “He was a giant. His team were one of the best, put together in any generation of Scottish football. He was intelligent and a great football guy.” #CELDUFC

Jim certainly achieved wonderful things in the game, none more so than taking Dundee United on some magnificent European runs, which saw them defeat Barcelona both home and away. However, since the sad announcement of his passing, Scottish Football fans have been looking back to this video of McLean’s X-rated rant directed at a journalist. Of course we don’t condone any violence, but the rant has proved hilarious if unconscionable.
Jim will be remembered with a minute’s silence before tomorrow’s match between Celtic and Dundee United at Paradise.
