The former frontman sits down with Chris Sutton, Steven Naismith and his old strike partner at Middlesborough, Kris Boyd, for a comprehensive look back on his career. McDonald has the distinction of playing under Gordon Strachan at three different football clubs and talks candidly about the difficult early days working with him at Southampton.
