Celtic boss Neil Lennon has ruled himself out of the running for the Scotland job.
The Scottish Football Association is on the hunt for a new national team boss after Alex McLeish departed on Thursday.
Lennon believes it was too early to bin Big Eck and is adamant the next Scotland manager should be Scottish.
Asked if international management was something that would interest him, the Northern Irishman said: "No. I like the day-to-day stuff.
"The Scotland job should be - whether you think this is antiquated or not - (for) a Scotland man and there is plenty of good candidates in line for the job.
"The decision to remove Alex was premature and seemed to be based on one result (3-0 defeat in Kazakhstan) which is scandalous from my point of view.
"There are a lot of good candidates out there and it is a prime job still."
