Dick Advocaat won the Scottish Premiership title as part of a domestic treble during his first season at Ibrox in 1998/99.
Former Rangers boss Dick Advocaat is eyeing a return to Scotland with his heart set on the national team job, according to the Scottish Sun.
Scotland are currently without a manager after Alex McLeish’s second spell at the helm came to an end earlier this month. McLeish was never the most popular or imaginative appointment and he always looked destined for the axe after that humiliating 3-0 Euro 2020 qualifying defeat to Kazakhstan.
And the Scottish Sun reports that a coach even more experienced than McLeish is hoping to take the top job.
Advocaat is 71 but has no plans to step into retirement when he departs Eredivisie outfit Utrecht at the end of the season.
The veteran Dutchman has coached the Netherlands (twice), South Korea, Russia, Serbia, Belgium and the UAE in a storied career at international level. And, according to the Scottish Sun, he has told the SFA that he’d be willing to work with a young backroom staff.
Advocaat also spent four years in charge of Glasgow giants Rangers between 1998 and 2001, winning the domestic treble in his first season at Ibrox.
