Old warhorse Neil Warnock has praised Ipswich Town boss Kieran McKenna - and revealed who he hopes gets promoted from the Championship.

The veteran boss, 75, who started the season as manager at Huddersfield Town and was most recently interim boss at Aberdeen, was speaking on Sky Sports last night.

With Leicester City now having one foot in the Premier League after thumping Southampton 5-0, Warnock - who's won a record eight promotions as a manager - shared his views on the promotion race.

Leeds are in second spot, a point ahead of Town having played a game more. The Saints, meanwhile, are destined for the play-offs.

Warnock said: "You look at the top four clubs, three of those clubs you’d expect to be promoted without a shadow of a doubt, then you’ve got Ipswich really really doing well.

"I voted for him (McKenna) as my manager of the season. To be at this level and do what he's done two years on the trot...

"It’s going to be a great end of the season run-in, I’m right looking forward to it.

"I love the underdog if I'm honest - so I hope Ipswich keep going and keep going and spoil the party."

McKenna, of course, was named Championship manager of the season last week.

Town return to action at Hull City at 8pm on Saturday night.
