John Collins is the latest name to be linked to the vacant Scotland manager’s job.

Please don’t give it to him!

If any lessons have been learnt from the Alex McLeish saga it’s that young managers with things to prove won’t hang about managing a national side who only get together once every few months.

It’s the ideal job for a more mature person who is perhaps looking at semi-retirement, as they still get the thrill of coaching top players and battling their wits against other top managers but without the day to day grind of managing a side in the SPL or Premiership.
