He was always the No 1 choice of the Tartan Army, and when all the other potential candidates started drifting back into football – Alex McLeish at Nottingham Forest, Joe Jordan at QPR, and Walter Smith at Rangers as a director – he was the outstanding candidate. A no-brainer even for the SFA. But let's not fool ourselves here. His appointment comes with a huge weight of patriotic expectation. That said, I think he will do well because he brings experience, enthusiasm and an aura. When Gordon walks in a room, you sense he is a man with presence.
