McGlynn could be just what Scotland fans want - Levein

Former Scotland boss Craig Levein thinks Falkirk manager John McGlynn "plays the type of football Scottish people want to see" as the search for Steve Clarke's successor continues. Despite signing a new four-year deal before the start of this summer's World Cup, the head coach stepped down following Scotland's elimination from the tournament in the US, Canada and Mexico. Levein, who was in charge of Scotland between 2009 and 2012, suggested Falkirk manager McGlynn could be a perfect fit. "He's without doubt the most meticulous manager I've ever seen," Levein told BBC Sportsound of the 64-year-old who led Falkirk to back-to-back promotions and a top six finish in their first top flight season. "He goes into great detail. Just look at the evidence. "John McGlynn plays the type of football that Scottish people would like to see. He also plays with pace and aggression, I'm a huge fan." Levein knows McGlynn from their time together at Hearts when McGlynn worked with the youth academy. "He was in the academy when I was at Hearts before he went in to work with Brendan Rodgers [as a scout at Celtic] and he changed his philosophy and the way he played. "He came out of that period at Celtic playing a different style of football altogether. "If you want to do the Scotland job you get all the rubbish that comes with it."
