Brewster tipped for Inverness job
Quote:
Craig Brewster has emerged as an early favourite to succeed Charlie Christie as head coach of Inverness Caledonian Thistle, BBC Sport believes.
It would be the 41-year-old Aberdeen striker's second spell in charge at the Caledonian Stadium after a 14-month spell there that ended in January 2006.
Christie's assistant, Donald Park, has already been ruled out the running.
Inverness will draw up a shortlist, with another former boss, John Robertson, in the club's thoughts.
Robertson, who recently took charge of Derry City, ended his two-year spell at Caledonian Stadium in 2004 after being enticed back to former club Hearts.
Brewster had also been persuaded to end his time at the Highland club by a return to Dundee United, where he lasted nine months before resuming his playing career at Pittodrie.
Maurice Malpas, who parted company with Motherwell during the summer, is also being linked with the Inverness job.
Caley Thistle's board will discuss their strategy when chairman Alan Savage returns from a business trip abroad on Tuesday.
The Scottish Premier League outfit are likely to draw up a shortlist of three or four candidates.
They are keen to appoint a successor quickly so the new manager can target new signings before the transfer window closes at the end of the month.

It never worked out for him at Dundee United, if he really wants to go into management, he should try the lower divisions first. Hard to say if he has the attributes to be a good manager. He is a respected player, but its not always easy to make the transition into management.
