  4. Scotland closing in on new head coachpublished at 14:05 BST 8 August

    The news keeps coming from the SFA, with the governing body closing in on the appointment of a new head coach to succeed Steve Clarke.

    The search for Clarke's replacement is being led by chief executive Ian Maxwell and Craig Mulholland, who was appointed as the SFA's chief football officer in May.

    It is understood Maxwell and Mulholland have spoken to a wide range of candidates from the UK and beyond.

    Interviews have been conducted and the SFA is nearing an appointment. It is unclear whether the incoming head coach will be a Scot or foreigner.
