The men in the muddle

I WAS never sure whether Craig Levein would stay or go as Scotland manager, it has been a hard one to call.

But the one thing everyone could be certain of was that the SFA would dither over the decision. Whether you like Craig or not, the matter was cut and dried. Either back him or sack him. Instead, more than a fortnight after the 2-0 defeat gainst Belgium, and hours before a squad is due to be named for the friendly against Luxembourg, still no-one has been able to make a definitive judgment. The seven-man SFA board, who may finally resolve the issue via a conference call today, buried their heads in the sand and effectively hoped the issue would go away. It didn't and now the timing could hardly be worse.
