Neil Lennon isn’t interested in the vacant Scotland manager’s job.
Alex McLeish was mutually consented yesterday starting a guessing game over who might be fitted out next for a shiny SFA blazer.
Walter Smith and Michael O’Neil turned the job down 15 months ago before the SFA turned to McLeish who hadn’t managed in the UK in the four years before returning to Hampden.

Lennon is focusing all of his energy on club football with Celtic having six matches left to play this season.
Four points will clinch an eight successive title for the second time in the club’s history with Hearts standing between Celtic and the Scottish Cup.
Lennon has been caretaker manager for seven weeks during which he has increased the lead at the top of the table and negotiated through two Scottish Cup ties.
Despite other names being linked with the Celtic job on an almost daily basis the Irishman remains the firm favourite to get the hoops job on a permanent basis.
