in Advocaat's second season. In Europe, too, there were signs of greatly improved performance in the Champions League, as Parma were defeated en route to qualification for the group stages of the competition. During this season, Rangers Football Club Ltd traded on what was the Ofex market. Rangers entered Advocaat's third season emboldened by the capture of five of the six domestic trophies available in his first two years; however, while the club again qualified for the Champions League group stage, performances in the league began rapidly to disintegrate. Further high-profile signings – Tore André Flo, for a club record £12 million, and the Dutch internationalist Ronald de Boer – could not reverse the decline. The club failed to win a major competition in the 2000–01 season, as Celtic swept the domestic board. Having continued in similar fashion in 2001–02, and with Martin O'Neill's Celtic side once more running away with the championship, Advocaat resigned as manager and took up a general-manager position, which he left just under a year later. Alex McLeish was appointed the new Rangers manager in December 2001. Murray Park, a £14m training complex, was constructed at Auchenhowie. Its existence was viewed as essential if the club was to compete with its European peers in nurturing home-grown talent and developing players. Financial constraints under McLeish (2001–2006) McLeish, Rangers' eleventh manager, appointed Andy Watson as his assistant. Others said to be included on the shortlist of prospective managers were the then Ipswich Town manager George Burley, former Germany coach Berti Vogts and ex-Arsenal manager George Graham. A Scottish Cup and League Cup double in McLeish's first half-season, 2001–02, including a dramatic 3–2 defeat of Celtic in the 2002 Scottish Cup Final, orchestrated by Barry Ferguson and marked by a dramatic Peter Løvenkrands last-minute winner. In McLeish's first full season as manager, 2002–03, the club won its seventh domestic treble. The Scottish Premier League title was secured after a tense run-in. Going into the final round, both sides were equal on 94 points, but Rangers had a one-goal advantage and sat top of the league. On a dramatic last day, a 6–1 victory over Dunfermline Athletic denied Celtic the title on goal-difference after the Parkhead club beat Kilmarnock 4–0. The destination of the title was unknown until the final seconds of this match, with both teams level on points and goal-difference. Only a last-minute penalty by Mikel Arteta
