Scotland have appointed Alex McLeish for a second spell as manager following the departure of Gordon Strachan.
The Scottish FA confirmed that former Rangers, Birmingham and Aston Villa boss McLeish would succeed Strachan, who left after failing to guide them to the 2018 World Cup.
The SFA has spent almost four months searching for a successor to Strachan and have turned to McLeish after Northern Ireland boss Michael O'Neill turned down the chance to take over.
"It is a tremendous honour to be named Scotland national team head coach," McLeish told reporters.
"I am incredibly fortunate to have had the chance to lead my country already, and I am immensely proud to be in this position for a second time.
"It is a tremendous honour to be named Scotland National Team Head Coach.

"There is much to be positive about in Scottish football, with players playing at the highest level and promising talent breaking through.
"I am relishing the challenge of leading us to a major tournament, and I cannot wait to get started."
McLeish will now prepare the squad for next month's friendlies against Costa Rica and Hungary, but his first competitive action will not come until September's inaugural Nations League clash with Albania.
Scottish FA president Alan McRae said the new manager was "a true Scotland legend and a natural leader."
He added: "It is a rarity to be in a position to appoint someone who has experience of successfully managing their country, and we are delighted to reach an agreement with Alex.
"With Hampden Park hosting matches at Euro 2020 it is more important than ever before for Scotland to qualify for a tournament finals, and we believe that Alex is the exemplary candidate to guide us there."
