MARK McGHEE recommended Alex McLeish today to be considered for a return as Scotland manager.

The Scottish Football Association will continue their search for a new national team boss after Michael O’Neill decided today to stay with Northern Ireland.

O’Neill said that he had “given the matter a great deal of thought and consideration,” but ultimately decided that despite it being  “a huge honour to be offered the position, I do not feel that this is the right opportunity for me at this moment in my career.”
