George Burley has spoken of his shock at being appointed as the new manager of Scotland. Burley has signed a four and a half year deal to become the head of the Scottish international side.
Burley said: "It's a great honour, it's something you want to do, given the opportunity. I never thought that it would ever happen.
"When Scotland showed interest, there were so many excellent candidates with huge experience.
"To be asked to be manager of my country is a great honour, and something I'm really looking forward to.
"I think at this stage of my career after being a manager for almost 16 years now, I feel I'm ready for it. I'm very pleased the SFA have showed faith and belief in giving me the job.
"I'm really looking forward to it. I was surprised to get the job. But maybe they've (the SFA) seen something that will help Scotland.
"I feel it's the right time for me and hopefully I can be a successful Scottish manager."
