McLeish will reportedly be sacked as Scotland manager

Scotland were humiliated last Thursday when they were thrashed 3-0 by Kazakhstan in what has been described as one of the worst results in the national team’s history.They then put in an underwhelming performance against the world’s lowest ranked national team, San Marino, but scraped a 2-0 win over the European minnows.

Maxwell wants to act swiftly and dismiss McLeish, as he does not believe he is the right person to lead Scotland to their first major tournament in 22 years.McLeish, who turned 60 in January, appeared physically exhausted on the touchline in both matches – and there was reportedly one ‘deeply troubling episode’ against San Marino that convinced Maxwell he is being adversely affected by the stress of the job. Despite successfully guiding Scotland to a play-off spot for the Euros through the Nations League, former Birmingham and Aston Villa boss McLeish was already in a precarious position as he has struggled to win over the confidence of the players as well as the Tartan Army since succeeding Gordon Strachan 13 months ago.
