Craig Levein and Stewart Regan will sit down together in an effort to create a foolproof plan for the SFA that will help to increase the national side fortunes back to their former glory.
Regan is the new chief executive of the SFA and has reviewed the Henry McLeish report as a start in his work to make Scotland a powerful force in the world of football once again. He replaced Gordon Smith as Chief back in April and has set his sights on finding resources and funding to make McLeish’s recommendations a reality.
Regan has a strong background in both sporting and business with previous work experience at the Yorkshire County Cricket Club and with the Football League.
However, even with his background Regan is aware of the fact that he has a large amount of work in front of him as he attempts to win back fans that are tired of the national team’s exploits and the current status of the game.
He stated that he is aware of the fact that acceptance of football and of him in the lead position will not happen overnight and that he plans to talk with Levein in regards to what the best way to bring football success to Scotland will be.
The last time that Scotland qualified to play in an international tournament was the France World Cup in 1998, twelve years ago. As each year passes it becomes harder to get into a qualifier since the country loses its seeding and ranking.
