Nottingham Forest boss Billy Davies is remaining tight-lipped on the possibility of becoming Scotland manager.

The former Preston and Derby manager is one of the favourites to replace the sacked George Burley.

But Davies told the Nottingham Evening Post: "I have had endless calls about this and I don't want to say anything."

Former Scotland boss Craig Brown believes Davies would be ideal for the role but feels the 45-year-old is unlikely to leave Forest.

He said: "I worked with Billy and consider him to be absolutely outstanding as a coach, but I don't believe he would want to leave club management to take over Scotland."
