First-team coach Tommy Burns has committed his future to Celtic after resigning from his position as Scotland assistant manager.
Burns was in the frame to replace Walter Smith as the full-time national team coach, but the 50-year-old wants to remain part of the backroom staff at Celtic Park.
"I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with the Scottish national squad and have made a lot of good friends in the process," he told the club's official website.
"I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone involved with Scotland every success for the future."
