ALEX NEIL insists he has no fears over Norwich City's English Championship play-off hopes after guiding Hamilton Accies to a spectacular success last season.
The former New Douglas Park boss is hoping to win promotion to the Premier League with the Carrow Road side.
But it looks like he will have to get them up via the dreaded play-offs system.
However, that doesn't bother Neil after his sensational win over Hibs last term after being 2-0 down from the first leg at home, only to go to Easter Road, reverse the deficit and win on penalties.
Neil said: "If you talk about the experience of play-offs I have been in a play-off final and won one.
"I'm not sure the other guys we are competing with have.
"I came down here to make sure we were either in the play-offs or if we did really well then we go up automatically.
"We have done the first part well, which is to get ourselves into contention, now we have to pick up as many wins and see where that takes us."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
