Alex McLeish will be sacked as Scotland manager in the next 24 hours, according to reports.
The Daily Record have stated Scottish Football Association chief executive Ian Maxwell will meet with McLeish and relieve him of his duties following nightmarish displays against Kazakhstan and San Marino.

McLeish will reportedly be sacked as Scotland manager
Scotland were humiliated last Thursday when they were thrashed 3-0 by Kazakhstan in what has been described as one of the worst results in the national team’s history.
They then put in an underwhelming performance against the world’s lowest ranked national team, San Marino, but scraped a 2-0 win over the European minnows.

Maxwell wants to act swiftly and dismiss McLeish, as he does not believe he is the right person to lead Scotland to their first major tournament in 22 years.
McLeish, who turned 60 in January, appeared physically exhausted on the touchline in both matches – and there was reportedly one ‘deeply troubling episode’ against San Marino that convinced Maxwell he is being adversely affected by the stress of the job.

Despite successfully guiding Scotland to a play-off spot for the Euros through the Nations League, former Birmingham and Aston Villa boss McLeish was already in a precarious position as he has struggled to win over the confidence of the players as well as the Tartan Army since succeeding Gordon Strachan 13 months ago.

3,000 Scottish fans booed his team off the pitch after the narrow victory over San Marino, and, although they managed to claim the three points, Scotland already sit in a perilous position in Group I.
Maxwell has yet to call a meeting with other directors of the FA board, but it is understood they are well aware of his concerns and could rubber stamp the dismissal as early as next week.
McLeish has been in charge for 12 games since being reappointed Scotland manager and has a win rate of less than 50 per cent.
