Burley on verge of sack after Wales thrashing

GEORGE BURLEY’S troubled reign as Scotland manager looks certain to end this week after the Scottish FA confirmed they will hold talks over his future.

Burley managed to hold onto his job in the wake of his failure to steer Scotland to a play-off spot for the World Cup finals but his position has come under intense scrutiny again following Saturday’s 3-0 defeat to Wales.

Furious travelling fans in the Cardiff City stadium turned on the manager after Scotland found themselves trailing by three goals after just 35 minutes, demanding his dismissal and directing verbal abuse towards the beleaguered boss.
