Scotland's search for a new manager continues after Steve Clarke stepped down following the World Cup. Craig Levein, former Scotland boss, believes John McGlynn could be the perfect fit.

What makes McGlynn a strong candidate?

McGlynn's experience and style of play make him an attractive option. He led Falkirk to back-to-back promotions and a top six finish in their first top flight season. Levein, who worked with McGlynn at Hearts, praises his meticulous approach and ability to play with pace and aggression.

Why does Levein support McGlynn?

Levein knows McGlynn from their time together at Hearts, where McGlynn worked with the youth academy before joining Celtic as a scout. McGlynn's style of play has evolved over time, and Levein believes he would be a great fit for Scotland.

What's next for Scotland?

As Scotland looks to the future, they will be hoping to build on their recent form, which includes a 4-0 win over Liechtenstein on 2025-06-09, and a recent record of 1W-0D-1L. With the right manager in place, Scotland will be looking to make a strong impact in the FIFA World Cup 2026
