Stark plays down Scotland talk

Billy Stark remained coy on his chances of becoming the next permanent Scotland manager after overseeing Wednesday's 2-1 win in Luxembourg.

Scotland Under-21 boss Stark took charge of the senior side for the friendly win over minnows Luxembourg following the dismissal of Craig Levein earlier this month. Jordan Rhodes grabbed two first-half goals as Scotland sealed the win, despite Lars Gerson's superb second-half free-kick for the hosts. Stark has been suggested as a potential successor to Levein, but he insists he hasn't even thought about becoming the national side's next permanent manager. "The bit about me and people talking about me, I can honestly and truly say it wasn't anywhere in my thoughts," the Scotland Under-21 manager said. "It doesn't bother me. What would have bothered me is if we hadn't won the game." Gordon Strachan is 10/11 to be named as the next permanent Scotland boss, Owen Coyle is 10/1 and Stark is 7/1.
