Craig Brown would love to see Billy Davies succeed George Burley as Scotland manager. Davies took over as manager of Nottingham Forest in January this year after impressing in spells at Motherwell, Preston and Derby.

"I worked with Billy Davies who I consider to be absolutely outstanding," he told Sky Sports News.

"But I don't think there is a chance of Billy Davies wanting to manage Scotland."

One of the bookies' favourites is Dundee United manager Craig Levein and Brown added: "Craig Levein has done very well since he has come back from Leicester, where he didn't excel.

"He has done very well at Dundee United, he is a very capable coach and clearly a good manager."
