Michael Stewart has suggested that Ange Postecoglou could take charge of Scotland after their friendly loss to Iceland tonight.
The national team fell to a harrowing defeat at the hands of the side ranked 74th in the world.
Andri Gudjohnsen made it 1-0 early doors before John Souttar levelled things up.

Spurs star makes feelings on Ange Postecoglou sacking clear with emotional tribute
An own goal from Lewis Ferguson just before the break gave the visitors the lead, before Victor Palsson made it 3-1 just after half-time.
The Icelandics, who themselves only had just three shots on target throughout the 90 minutes, then ultimately saw the job through for the remainder.
Speaking post-match, Stewart made a surprise suggestion regarding ex-Celtic boss Postecoglou live on BBC Radio Scotland: "There's a degree of apathy, and you don't want that," he said.
"The manager has said it himself. He views it through to the World Cup, then he feels it would be time to make a change... And then big Ange can come in."
The Australian gaffer was sacked by Tottenham Hotspur this evening, despite leading them to Europa League glory just over a fortnight ago.
"When I reflect on my time as Manager of Tottenham Hotspur, my overriding emotion is one of pride," said Postecoglou.
"The opportunity to lead one of England's historic football clubs and bring back the glory it deserves will live with me for a lifetime. Sharing that experience with all those who truly love this club and seeing the impact it had on them is something I will never forget.
"That night in Bilbao was the culmination of two years of hard work, dedication and unwavering belief in a dream. There were many challenges to overcome and plenty of noise that comes with trying to accomplish what many said was not possible.
"We have also laid foundations that mean this club should not have to wait 17 more years for their next success. I have enormous faith in this group of players and know there is much more potential and growth in them.
"I sincerely want to thank those who are the lifeblood of the club, the supporters. I know there were some difficult times, but I always felt that they wanted me to succeed, and that gave me all the motivation I needed to push on. It's important to acknowledge the hard-working people at Spurs who gave me encouragement on a daily basis.
"And finally, I want to thank those who were with me every day for the last two years. A fantastic group of young men who are now legends of this football club, and the brilliant coaches who never once doubted we could do something special.
"We are forever connected. Audere est Facere."
