SFA discusses ‘a range of candidates’
candidates for the vacant manager’s job for their fellow board members to consider.
Petrie, the Hibs chairman and SFA vice-president, is reportedly strongly in favour of Mcleish returning to a position he left a decade ago.
According to a source “a range of candidates and processes” were covered yesterday. The search to fill both manager and chief executive berths was described as “making progress”. But Scotland fans are quickly running out of patience with friendlies against Costa Rica and Hungary due next month.
Michael O’neill turned down the opportunity to manage Scotland last month to remain with Northern Ireland. Walter Smith has also decided he would prefer not to be considered for the post. Mcleish has since become the bookies’ favourite.
