New boss installed soon

Middlesbrough, 15:32, October 23, 2009 ,

Former Celtic boss Gordon Strachan is set to be installed at Middlesbrough on Monday to succeed sacked Gareth Southgate.

Boro chairman Steve Gibson lost patience with the former England defender a few weeks ago but the axe did not fall until after Tuesday night's 2-0 win over Derby at the Riverside.
Southgate's former assistant Colin Cooper will take charge of the side at Preston on Saturday before making way for the new man next week.
Strachan has been out of the game since leaving Parkhead at the end of last season.
