Burley’s Bhoys

Being a Dundee United fan, it would presumably be welcome news that club legend Paul Hegarty has joined George Burley's coaching staff for the national side. The fact that he only collected a handful of caps in his playing career is surely nothing to be worried about – there are after all a number of high-profile backroom string-pullers with comparable experience – but it isn't just the emotional, tactical and judgment-related rollercoaster ride of Burley's reign that flavours this appointment with a lack of ambition.
