Superb news.

This is great news. I still feel thay Moyes has the most credentials on paper but do did McClaren. Hopefully he can get you to a tournament. Would be good to see

Bloke’s an idiot. Loved in his current role and his stock is rising by the week, so to take on a job like Scotland, where they’re institutionally broken and the fans have higher expectations than their status, is just a bit daft, IMO. 

It reeks of him being under pressure by October after games with Cyprus, Belgium x2 and Russia x2.

He can probably only take Kilmarnock so far though. If he turns down Scotland he might not get a chance again. I can understand him taking the job.

Might be the same old story after a few months and he will be another one out of the door, the whole Scottish board should resign and get replaced, they couldn't organise a piss up in a boxing ring. :coffee:

Ian Maxwell, who made the appointment, is a new face within the SFA. He seems to have bought himself a lot of good grace with this. Certainly enough to last this qualification cycle...

Now, he just needs to show Malky Mackay out the building...

I just hope fingers_crossed.gif  he can be at least like former Scotland manager Craig Brown who took over from Andy Roxburgh, Craig Brown's appointment...

" His appointment was greeted critically, as Brown had a low-profile career in football beforehand. Despite limited resources, Brown managed to lead Scotland to qualification for two major tournaments, UEFA Euro 1996 and the 1998 FIFA World Cup."
