CRAIG Levein is glad he is no longer in the Scotland firing line amid recent speculation that Alex McLeish could lose his job.
McLeish could be set to depart amid the fallout from Scotland's 3-0 defeat in Kazakhstan in their opening Euro 2020 qualifier last week.
Levein, who was Scotland manager from 2009 to 2012, said: "It just makes me think, 'thank God I'm not doing that anymore'.
"It's nonsense, the whole thing. We are one play-off away from qualifying because of the work that was done in the Nations League, and I think we just need to calm down a little bit."

He added: "He had a lot of injuries as well, particularly in the first match. It just seems that everybody is in such a hurry to hand out stick, and it doesn't help the manager, it doesn't help the players."
