Andy man for Lions

View Gallery

IAN McGeechan was hailed as rugby's own Sir Alex Ferguson after being appointed Lions head coach for next year's tour to South Africa.

McGeechan has become synonymous with the Lions over a 34-year association which stretches back to the unbeaten 1974 trip to South Africa.

Lions chairman Andy Irvine said: "He is as fired up as he has ever been and there are similarities in that between Geech and Sir Alex Ferguson.

"The desire and the hunger is there. He is 61-years-old but he is a very young 61. He is fit as a flea, he just loves the Lions to bits and he is already extremely excited at some of the young talent coming through."
