Former Rangers manager and Scotland player Alex McLeish has compared the nerves of being made an OBE to “like a cup final”.

Alexander Mcleish after being made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire during an investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle, Berkshire. Picture date: Tuesday April 9, 2024.The 65-year-old Glasgow-born footballing legend received the honour for his services to charity from the Princess Royal at Windsor Castle on Tuesday.

He is also an ambassador for the Catherine McEwan Foundation helping to fundraise and increase awareness about the conditions. “To receive the award from Princess Anne was also great because it’s kind of the era that I grew up in.” He has since gone on to become heavily involved in charity campaigns involving Crohn’s and colitis, which his two sons have suffered from, that have been supported by the likes of David Moyes and Wayne Rooney.
