2McLeish's record as Scotland boss
First spell, Jan-Nov 2007P10 W7 D0 L3 F14 A9 GD+5* McLeish was in charge for eight of Scotland’s 12 Euro 2008 qualifiers, with five wins and three defeats. They had won three and lost one before he took over and ultimately finished third in their group, missing out on qualification.* He also oversaw 1-0 friendly wins over Austria and South Africa.* James McFadden, a coach in McLeish’s second spell in charge, was his top scorer first time around alongside Kris Boyd on three goals.Second spell, Feb 2018-Apr 2019P12 W5 D0 L7 F14 A18 GD-4* Scotland topped Nations League group C1 with three wins out of four against Israel and Albania.* They opened their Euro 2020 qualifying campaign with a 3-0 loss in Kazakhstan before beating San Marino 2-0.* In six friendlies, Scotland have beaten only Hungary, 1-0, while losing to Costa Rica, Peru, Mexico, Belgium and Portugal.* Celtic winger James Forrest top-scored in McLeish’s second spell with five goals – two against Albania and a hat-trick against Israel in the Nations League.* McLeish has not drawn a game in either of his spells as Scotland manager. The SFA will now look to fill the role before Scotland host Cyprus in their latest European Championship qualifier on June 8, although it is understood that an interim appointment has not been ruled out.Maxwell added: “We firmly believe we have the potential to recover from the opening group defeat and unlock the potential of this exciting squad of players for the remainder of the campaign, safe in the knowledge we also have the play-offs as an additional route to UEFA Euro 2020.“With Hampden Park one of the host city venues for the 60th Anniversary of the European Championships, we are determined to ensure our supporters can watch the national team participate in UEFA Euro 2020.”
