Published Date: 04 September 2007
LITHUANIA coach Algimantas Liubinskas admitted he did not know that Alex McLeish had taken over from Walter Smith as Scotland boss.
Liubinskas, whose side face the Scots on Saturday in their European Championship qualifier, is in Vilnius working with his players ahead of the Hampden clash.

Smith was in charge when Scotland beat Lithuania 2-1 in Kaunas almost a year ago but was replaced by McLeish in January after deciding to return to manage Rangers.

But asked if Scotland's tactics or style of play would change under McLeish, Liubinskas said: "The Scotland team changes coach?"

When that was confirmed, the Lithuania boss asked: "Who is the Scotland coach now?" before admitting that McLeish's appointment was news to him.

Right then! Like these guys are not told of anything happening in the outside world. Surprised Mad Vlad never game him the info personally.

Hopefully Big Eck and the boys will give them a right good hammering on Saturday. Should be a great chance of this happening if all the Hearts diddy's get a start.
