Sunderland manager David Moyes is the leading candidate to take charge of Scotland if Gordon Strachan pays the price for the nation's unconvincing start to their 2018 World Cup qualification campaign, with sources telling ESPN FC that the former Everton and Manchester United manager would be open to discussions about managing his country.
Scotland currently lie second bottom in UEFA Group F after taking just four points from their opening four qualifiers -- their only victory being a 5-1 rout of minnows Malta in September.
And the pressure on Strachan has intensified in the wake of last Friday's 3-0 defeat against England at Wembley, which was Scotland's heaviest defeat against their neighbours in over 40 years.
