Millwall manager Alex Neil is keeping his squad grounded ahead of Saturday's high-stakes Championship finale, reminding his players to appreciate their remarkable season regardless of the final outcome.

The Lions have already secured a play-off spot—a feat the club hasn't achieved in 25 years—but automatic promotion remains within reach. A win against Oxford United, combined with an Ipswich Town loss to QPR, would send Millwall straight up.

Neil, however, isn't letting his mind wander to scoreboard-watching. "There's nothing we can do about it," he said flatly when asked about tracking their promotion rivals. "It's not something that occupies my thoughts or my planning. We know what we need to do—go win the match. That's all I'm focused on, and that's all the players should be focused on. Take care of ourselves, and whatever happens at the final whistle will be what it is."

The gaffer's message is clear: don't lose sight of the journey. "We've made the play-offs for the first time in a quarter-century. We've got the best away record in the league. We've kept the most clean sheets. There are so many things to like about this team—it's been a remarkable year."

Still, Neil knows the job isn't finished. "We want something to show for our efforts. Getting promoted would be a remarkable achievement for everyone involved. But there's a lot of work to be done between now and then."

For a club that has built its identity on grit and resilience, Saturday represents more than just a game—it's a chance to cap a historic campaign with the ultimate prize. Whether it's automatic promotion or a play-off push, the Lions are ready to roar.
