]]>Smith held the role between 2004 and 2007 and guided the team to a famous 1-0 victory over France, as well as improving their Fifa ranking. However, after seeing Scotland fail to reach the play-offs for the 2010 World Cup, he said: “When you’ve been in a job, it takes something special for you to come back and do it a second time.
“I did it at Rangers, and I wouldn’t see myself doing it again.”
The 61 year old is out of contract at Ibrox in January but has now reaffirmed his commitment to Rangers and has also indicated that he would be willing to work without a contract, in order to ease some of the financial pressure on the club.
That would leave Craig Levein as the most likely candidate for the job but a number of other names have also been mentioned, including Jimmy Calderwood and John Collins, who have already expressed an interest.
The final decision will of course come down to the Scottish FA and chief executive Gordon Smith, who told a media conference today that they would not be rushed into making an appointment.
He said: “We will be sitting down very shortly to look at the criteria in terms of the type of candidate going forward who has experience, and someone who has authority and a reputation in the game.
“That’s the kind of person we’re looking for - someone who can take the team forward and take the team to the next level, which would be qualification for the European Championships in 2012.”
