McLeish confirming he has an interview for the job.
Quote:
Alex McLeish has confirmed that he has been offered an interview for the position of Scotland manager.
The Scottish Football Association has drawn up a shortlist of potential candidates to replace Walter Smith after his move to Rangers, and former Gers boss McLeish is the first figure to confirm he is in contention.
Since leaving Rangers at the end of last season McLeish has been linked with a number of club posts, but the former Motherwell and Hibernian boss has admitted it would be difficult to turn down his country.
"I haven't been offered anything other than an interview but it would be very hard to say no to the job of Scotland manager," McLeish told the Daily Express.
"It's a very tough task facing whoever gets the job but I have always felt it's better to face up to a challenge rather than walk away from it wondering 'what if?'."
