'I should be called football's Red Adair... I always get trouble-shooting jobs': Neil Warnock relishing another rescue mission at Championship strugglers Middlesbrough

Neil Warnock is revelling in his Red Adair reputation after being parachuted in to Middlesbrough for another rescue mission.

The 71-year-old likened himself to the famed American oil well firefighter as he launched his attempt to drag the Teessiders away from the Sky Bet Championship relegation zone with just eight games of the season remaining.

Former Leeds, QPR and Cardiff boss Warnock, who took training for the first time on Tuesday afternoon ahead of Saturday's trip to Stoke, may have eight promotions to his name, but he regards his role in saving Rotherham from relegation to League One in 2016 as one of his finest achievements.
