| 5. Author: wee eck Date: Wed 8th Jul 2026. 16:58 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? Reply |
| 6. Author: neils Date: Wed 8th Jul 2026. 17:04 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. Reply |

Author: WarringtonPar Date: Wed 8th Jul 2026. 17:37 wee eck, Wed 8 Jul 16:58 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! Post Edited (Wed 08 Jul 17:41) Reply |
| 9. Author: The One Who Knocks Date: Wed 8th Jul 2026. 18:01 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 Reply |
| 10. Author: wee eck Date: Wed 8th Jul 2026. 18:03 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. Reply |
