Former England boss Eriksson 'honoured' by Scotland links

Former England boss Sven-Goran Eriksson says he is "honoured" to have been linked with the Scotland job, although no talks over the role have taken place.

According to a report in Scotland, the 71-year-old has been sounded out by the Scottish Football Association over the prospect of taking over the national team.

Eriksson is claimed to be one of the leading candidates to succeed Alex McLeish, who left the job in the wake of the humbling 3-0 Euro 2020 qualifying defeat to Kazakhstan and an unconvincing 2-0 win over minnows San Marino.
