I’m sorry if I seem xenophobic here, but who is this man Regan, and how did he come to be running Scottish football? He was recruited from Yorkshire County Cricket Club, never famous for its exemplary management, he has no background in football, and very little in Scotland, other than the short period when he worked for  Coors. A background in brewing may seem relevant to the beautiful game, but only on the terraces, not on the field. There were  calls for his head during the Rangers affair. Now, as he scrambles around for a manager to replace Craig Levein, currently engaged in a legal dispute over the manner of his sacking, supervised by Regan, the feeling is growing that the chief executive doesn’t really know what he’s doing. As witness, we have the continuing speculation that Joe Jordan might get the job. Big Joe’s a legend, for sure, and a good club coach, but I know a couple of guys who would be unlikely to give him a reference for any management post, least of all the one currently vacant at Hampden.

If Craig had to go, and I  still believe that was a mistake, in spite of Scotland’s heroic 2 — 1 victory in ******* Luxembourg, the SFA would have been better advised to move him into the Chief Executive’s chair, for I’m in no doubt that he is far better suited to the role than the current incumbent.
