What they're saying

"
Falkirk boss John McGlynn insists there has been "no contact" from the Scottish FA over the national team manager vacancy but wouldn't be drawn on whether he'd be interested in taking the job. Scotland are searching for a new boss after Steve Clarke left following this summer's World Cup where his side failed to progress out of the group stage. After securing back-to-back promotions with the Bairns and a top-six finish on their first season back in the top flight, McGlynn was tipped as an excellent choice to succeed Clark by former Scotland manager Craig Levain.
