Superman ready to save Scotland
-

Craig Levein is the man in line to be the next Scotland boss. He was once compared with Superman and that might be what the Tartan Army needs to get out of their misery
 

Craig Levein made his name in management with Hearts. He was in charge at Tynecastle from 2000 to 2004 before being tempted by Leicester City.

His time with Leicester City never gave Levein the oppertunity to shine. He was sacked from his position at Leicester City after only 15 months in charge.

Leicester City had an experienced squad when Levein took over and he later admitted that too many changes were done too fast. A difficult financial situation, at the Midland club, made him do business on a shoestring.

Levein brought players such as Matty Fryatt, Iain Hume and Patrick Kisnorbo to the club. All of them became key players.

After being sacked at Leicester it took a while to get back in management. He jumped at the chance to get back in work with 2nd division club Raith Rovers in September 2006.

He experienced success at Raith and after just one month in charge Dundee United came along and wanted him to be their next manager after Craig Brewster. Levein was appointed manager at Tannadise in October 2006.

The former Scottish international has done wonders at Dundee United and established the club as one of the best in the SPL. A club that struggled heavilly when Levein came in.

He is often compared with superman, with a simularity to the actor Christopher Reeve. When he first arrived at Leicester everyone was very hopefull and thought the new messiah had arrived.

Scottish football is no longer what it was and the players to build a strong 11 from is few. Darren Fletcher from Manchester United and Dean Gordon at Sunderland are really the only two big names. 

Scotland has great footballing traditions and in the past some fantastic footballers have been born in this country. Denis Law, Kenny Dalglish and Billy Bremner are three names, and all of them experienced to play with their country in the World Cup.

Scotland qualified for the World Cup finals in 74,78,82,86 and 1990, but never managed to get out of the group stages.

Levein was in the 1990 World Cup squad and played in the tournement in Italy.

A number of names are in the hat, but with former bosses Alex McLeish and Walter Smith out of the race it looks certain that Levein will be one of the best candidates for the job.
