Levein agrees to take Scotland job

CRAIG Levein was set to be unveiled as the new Scotland boss at Hampden later today.

The SFA were expected to agree a £250,000 compensation package with Dundee United to clear Levein to succeed George Burley as national coach.

Levein met SFA chief executive Gordon Smith in Edinburgh last night to thrash out a deal.

He then informed United chairman Stephen Thompson that he has decided to move on after three years in charge at Tannadice.

Hamilton Accies manager Billy Reid was expected to be approached to succeed Levein at United.
