Scotland vs Kazakhstan: Alex McLeish should never have got the job, Craig Burley tells talkSPORT after Euro 2020 qualifying embarrassment
Former Scotland midfielder Craig Burley believes Alex McLeish should never have been given the Scotland job and insists a clear out at the Scottish Football Association is needed.McLeish was appointed manager of the national side in February 2018, 11 years after the end of his first spell in charge and he has won four of his 11 matches to date.Alex McLeish’s future as Scotland manager is in doubt after Thursday’s stunning defeat2
Alex McLeish’s future as Scotland manager is in doubt after Thursday’s stunning defeat
However, the embarrassing 3-0 Euro 2020 qualification defeat to Kazakhstan a team ranked 117th in the world has added uncertainty to his immediate future.And Burley, who won 46 Scotland caps during his career, could not believe what he was watching, as Scotland were 2-0 down after just 10 minutes.They got that great goal, well, its a great goal from Kazakhstans point of view, he told talkSPORT’s Drivetime show about the hosts opener.It was a lovely ball from [Alexander] Merkel, who was great in the middle of the park. The guy played for AC Milan and ran the show, but the defending was horrible.My family are away at the moment, Im home alone and I went over to check on my Brussels sprouts, looked up and it was 2-0 to Kazakhstan! I just couldnt believe it.I like big Alex McLeish, I know him personally, but Alex should never have been back in charge. The SFA needs a clean out from top to bottom because they should never have gone back down the same route. They should have thought outside the box and tried something different.The shambles in Kazakhstan is a blow to hopes of automatic qualification to Euro 2020, even before Sunday’s second game of the campaign in San Marino.McLeish’s side have already secured a place in the play-offs for a tournament by winning their Nations League section.I know people will point out we had a good Nations League and Ive enjoyed the Nations League its an avenue to the Euros, but who wants to see an avenue to the Euros for teams like Scotland and other weak teams? Burley added.Burley was part of the last Scotland side to qualify for a major tournament – the 1998 World Cup – where he also scored one of his three goals2

Theyre not going to enhance the Euros if they have a poor qualifying campaign and get through via the play-offs.“Is that going to enhance the competition? Is it Hell.
