Gordon Strachan: Named Scotland manager

The SFA moved for Strachan after sacking Craig Levein in November following a disastrous run of results.

The 55-year-old, an inductee of the Scotland Hall of Fame after amassing 50 caps for his country, has been out of management since leaving Middlesbrough in October 2010.

Strachan's first match will be a friendly against Estonia at Pittodrie early next month before a World Cup double header against Wales at Hampden and a trip to Serbia on 22 and 26 March.
