Davies no to Scotland job

Billy Davies has ruled himself out of the running to take the Scotland international manager job. The former Derby coach has ruled himself out after the SFA admitted he was high on their shortlist of potential candidates.

Davies told the Scottish Daily Express that he would not remain a candidate to replace Alex McLeish who resigned in late November to take over at English Premier League side Birmingham City.

"My representative got a call from the SFA to say I was on the short-list, and then he took another call to say they wanted to speak to me about the job," Davies said.

"We were informed they wanted to get me involved in the process, and it was then that we told them we would not be taking things any further."
