Souness drops Scots hint
28 Nov 2007 - 09:28:13
Former Newcastle United manager Graeme Souness has hinted he would be interested in becoming the new manager of Scotland.
Souness, 54, has been out of management since being sacked by the Magpies in February 2006.
However, after deciding to pull out of the race to become the new manager of Bolton Wanderers last month, the former Rangers, Liverpool and Blackburn Rovers boss has intimated he would be interested in an international appointment.
Souness made 54 appearances for Scotland during an international career spanning 11 years.
He has recently been linked with the vacant hot-seat with the Republic of Ireland, but the chance to succeed Alex McLeish at the Scotland helm holds more appeal to Souness.
"I would be interested in taking a national team position," he told RTE
"I've not been offered either of them (Scotland or the Republic of Ireland) so I can't comment."
Former Derby County manager Billy Davies and ex-Coventry City boss Gary McAllister have also been linked with the Scotland job.
