Alex McLeish admits he never heard from Crystal Palace.

Big Eck had expressed interest in the job.

Asked if Palace had been in contact with him, McLeish said: "No. I seem to be down the lists a wee bit just now.

"I think I'm on lists, but I don't seem to be at the top of them just now.

"Maybe I do have to get out of the country to try to make my name again."
