The Scottish Football Association Board have given their backing for Gordon Strachan, the former Coventry City player and manager, to continue as manager of the Scotland National Football Team.
"The board are convinced that he still has the hunger for this challenge and we have four home qualifiers in 2017 to rejuvenate our campaign," SFA Chief executive Stewart Regan said in a press statement.
"We support Gordon unanimously in improving our qualification prospects."
"The board have considered the team's performance since the start of the campaign and subsequently discussed the disappointing points total after four matches.
"Gordon shared the disappointment of the board and, of course, the fans.
"He is adamant, however, that we can recover the position and believes a play-off place still to be attainable."
