Championship play-offs: Millwall boss Alex Neil calls on Lions to produce 'moment of magic' at Hull to earn first-leg advantage

Millwall are in the Championship play-offs for the first time in 24 years - but they have something of a specialist in this format on their side in boss Alex Neil.

The Scotsman has steered three teams to promotion through play-offs in his managerial career, guiding Hamilton to the Scottish Premiership, Sunderland to the Championship and - in 2015 - Norwich to the Premier League.

His current side Millwall are favourites to see off Hull City in their semi-final and make it to Wembley to face either Southampton or Middlesbrough. The Lions finished third in the Championship and in 17 of the past 20 Championship seasons the third-placed team has beaten the sixth-placed team in the play-offs.

But Neil knows it is about delivering in the key moments that matter at this point - regardless of what has gone before.
