Some of Scotland's players were "too thick" to understand George Burley's coaching methods, according to the sacked manager's nephew, Craig. Craig, a former Scotland international, also claimed some of the squad were not good enough but was not surprised his uncle was shown the door.
He told talkSPORT: "I'm not shocked at all. Wales was a disastrous result.
"It's not as if we were playing England or Brazil or France, it was Wales and it was unacceptable from the manager's and players' point of view.
"I don't think what he wanted to do got across to some players and also I think some of them are too thick to take it on board and not good enough to take it on board anyway to be perfectly honest with you.
"But he can look at most of the players in the eye and ask if they did a good job for him and I don't think there are many, if any, who can say, 'Yes, I did'.
"So he hasn't been able to get the players to perform for him, he hasn't been able to get them to understand what he wants the right formation and right results and, at the end of the day, that's all that matters."
