“We would like to assure supporters the matter is also of the utmost priority for both the search committee and the SFA.
“It has been well publicised in the media that discussions have taken place regarding a new Scotland head coach.
“Progress has been made in this regard but it is critical that this process is not rushed.
“It is of paramount importance that the appointment of the next head coach is the right one.
“Discussions will continue in the short term and we will update supporters whenever new information becomes available.”
