ALEX MCLEISH RESIGNS AS SCOTLAND'S NATIONAL COACH

SFA President, George Peat today said: "It is with regret that I can confirm that Alex McLeish has notified the Scottish FA that he has resigned from his position as National Team Coach with immediate effect.

"I am disappointed that Alex has chosen this course of action. He is an outstanding manager who has done a fantastic job with the National Team. Everyone at the SFA and indeed Scotland fans around the world were looking forward to Alex leading us into the World Cup qualification campaign. This is why we chose to offer Alex an extended contract while we were in South Africa. "Sadly, he has chosen not to take up this offer.

"A special meeting of the SFA Board will take place tomorrow morning at 11am to discuss the current sitiation."
