I get the feeling a lot of politicians are there to help themselves financially, first and foremost. I don't really need to do that, and I thought if I could do something for sport in Scotland, that would be really fulfilling.

From Gordon Strachan

It took me 35 years of being involved at a decent level of football to become manager at a great club like Celtic.

From Gordon Strachan

I've got more important things to think about. I've got a yogurt to finish by today, the expiry date is today.

From Gordon Strachan

I'm just going to crumble like a wreck. I'll go home, become an alcoholic and maybe! jump of a bridge.

From Gordon Strachan

I've been in football a long time and people have problems through debt, drugs, drink and family.

From Gordon Strachan

People think I've got a problem with the press. Actually I have no problem with the press, but just like in football there are a handful who cause problems because they're disrespectful, they're lazy, and above all - and this is what really gets to me - they haven't worked hard to get there.

From Gordon Strachan

I like to be able to control which players I'm working with. Because it doesn't matter how good a coach you are if the guys you're working with think they already know it all. You need a response, you need to feel they're trying. I want players who are always striving to improve.

From Gordon Strachan

Do I miss football in Scotland? It keeps you really alive, that's for sure. Your heartbeat fluctuates. I'm flatlining at the moment which is actually quite nice but you need to go up and down to stay alive.

From Gordon Strachan

I did think there were one or two referees who had a personal thing against me. It wasn't them versus Celtic - it was them against me! I just think they wanted to take me on.

From Gordon Strachan

I've had to take a lot of stick down the years but the one thing that really got to me was when someone questioned my integrity. It's the one thing that really grates with you.
