Scotland's search for a new head coach continues, with Bobby Williamson throwing his hat into the ring.
What's happening?
The 64-year-old former Hibernian and Kilmarnock manager has put himself forward for the job, leading a dream team of Ally McCoist, Scott Brown, and Kevin Thomson. Williamson admits he may not excite the Tartan Army, but his backroom team could.
Why it matters for Scotland
McCoist managed Rangers and previously assisted Walter Smith with Scotland, Brown won much silverware captaining Celtic, while Thomson helped Rangers to a Uefa Cup final. Scotland's recent form has been mixed, with a record of 1W-0D-1L in their last two games. | Date | Result | | 2025-06-09 | Liechtenstein 0-4 Scotland |
What comes next?
Williamson has been out of football management for 10 years, but reading reports from his home in Nairobi about Steve Clarke's resignation set his mind racing. He believes his CV stacks up well, having managed two national teams in Africa, including Uganda, where they were getting 60,000 fans every home game. Williamson was a team-mate of McCoist's at Rangers, while Brown and Thomson were young midfielders when he managed Hibs. He thinks his backroom team could bring excitement to the Tartan Army, with a mix of experience and youth.
