Jim Jefferies admitted on Monday night it was “flattering” to be linked with the Scotland job but refused to divulge whether he was interested in succeeding George Burley.
Burley was sacked after just 22 months in charge on Monday in the wake of Saturday’s demoralising 3-0 friendly defeat in Wales.
Even before he was given the chop, Kilmarnock boss Jefferies was installed as one of the favourites to succeed him, and the 58-year-old former Falkirk and Hearts manager said: “I’ve been linked before with the position. I have been linked and (it is) very flattering.”
He added: “What I’ve said many a time when I get linked with a job, whether it’s the Scotland job or any other job, I never comment on that.
“The day I’ll comment on anything like that is the day I get asked, and then I’ll be able to say yes or no.”
