At least he’d be a real coach, rather than a miserable pretendy one like the last incumbent

You don`t pass on Rafa, he`s got an excellent record.
Pars fan.
Magpies fan.
Mens tennis fan.
Alternative rock fan.
Not a fan of much else.

Is that the one who got us to three tournament finals and, statistically, is the most successful coach we`ve had I believe? Isn`t it all about results?

No thanks. He`s done , and been on a real long term down spiral
His clubs get smaller, and his league position gets lower, and then he gets sacked.

Anyone who`s passing, I`m genuinely interested to see who you actually think we can get.
This is Andy Tod`s world and we are lucky to live in it.

If it’s the one that took us from 44rth in the world to 42nd at a time when it’s easier than ever to qualify for tournaments then yes. Statistically Alex McLeish took us to 15th in the world with a far less talented squad.
Anyway no-one at the SFA has the foresight to make anyone other than the likes of Naismith the head coach. Drowning in mediocrity!

Not sure I`d say McLeish had a much less talented squad. A prime Darren Fletcher, McFadden, Craig Gordon, Barry Ferguson. We actually had a no bad team but if we didn`t then that just shows how magnificent McLeish did do manage us to home and away wins against France.
And although my eyes were open
They just might as well be closed

Tell Italy, Poland, Denmark, etc, how easy it is to qualify. Weren`t there fewer places available for European teams this World Cup?
I`m surprised there aren`t a few on here applying. There were plenty offering advice on squad and team selection, formation, tactics, etc.

Perhaps not much less talented but certainly no better than the current group

I don`t remember thinking at the time that beating France home and away and being ranked 15th (!) in the world was much consolation for not qualifying for the tournament finals.

No, there were 16 spots available for UEFA teams in 2026, against 13 in 2022.
TBF, Scotland qualified in 2026 as group winners, so the number of qualifiers didn`t matter

Thanks for clarifying, Stanza. There`s always someone trying to diminish anything we achieve unfortunately.
