Scots post interests Davies

Former Derby County manager Billy Davies has revealed an interest in becoming the new coach of the Scotland national team.
Davies, 43, left the Rams on Monday just six months after leading them into the Premier League via the Championship play-off final.
He parted company with the Pride Park club after seeing them win just one of their opening 14 league games.
However, Davies could make a swift return to management after admitting an interest in replacing Alex McLeish as Scotland boss.
McLeish resigned on Tuesday after deciding to take the reins at Birmingham City in the wake of Scotland's narrow failure to qualify for Euro 2008.
"I'm very open to listen to anything that is offered or put on the table," Davies told BBC Sport.
"I'm not ruling anything out. If somebody wants to talk to me I will listen and then make a decision.
"The Scotland job is one you don't apply for - the Scottish Football Association know exactly who they want to put in place and the type of man they're looking for.
"You'd be flattered if you can get your name down for it, but everybody in Scotland would want to manage the national team and that would always be the case."
