Lineen backs Robinson to take Scotland job

SEAN LINEEN insists he would be “amazed” if Andy Robinson does not apply for the Scotland job in the coming days.

Glasgow head coach Lineen has decided not to put his name forward to replace Frank Hadden, who stepped down just under two weeks ago after four years in charge.

Lineen’s withdrawal removes arguably the biggest obstacle to the appointment of former England boss Robinson, who is the bookies’ favourite.
