McLeish new Scotland boss
Alex McLeish has been named the new Scotland coach.
Former Rangers boss McLeish has signed a contract until 2010 and succeeds Walter Smith who resigned to take over at Ibrox on 10 January.
McLeish, who recently turned 48 and won 77 caps for his country, said he felt "proud" to become Scotland boss.
SFA chief executive David Taylor said: "We have moved quickly to fill the vacancy caused by the unexpected departure of Walter Smith."
McLeish has named former Motherwell, Hibernian and Rangers assistant Andy Watson and Roy Aitken as part of his backroom staff.
Aitken, the former Aston Villa assistant manager, has been out of football since David O'Leary was axed by the Premiership club.
