Sorry, Dundee United. Your xmas present this year is an empty manager’s seat as Craig Levein has accepted the position of Scotland NT manager. Levein, a former Hearts/Scotland defender, now faces the unenviable task of shaping that motley crew into a successful team, and leaves behind a club that were thriving under his leadership. (insert Goodwillie joke)
If he can beat the bad weather, the Scottish FA will host a press conference later today welcoming their man. As some pundit types have already noted, it’s going to be a tough job.
Personally, I’m not sure I’d call this a move “up”.
