Why not? If a mediocre Championship player can bolster his international future with a few goals against the likes of Livingston, St Johnstone and Ross County why not apply the same leap of fantasy to a manager?

To be fair, any amount of bolstering is welcome at this point.

Japan and South Korea seem quite happy with their players getting a few goals against the likes of Livingston, St. Johnstone and Ross County

Well, it's hardly comparable to UEFA qualifiers, considering the opposition for Japan and South Korea are the likes of Myanmar, Thaliand, Singapore and Syria.

On Goodwin, I think he needs a prolonged good spell in the SPL to properly re-establish his reputation.

I saw Ronny Deila in the stands at Celtic on Saturday. I wouldn't be averse to him. Curate's egg of a CV but still young enough and probably within budget. Thoughts?

My instinct is that a previously approached candidate will get the job though, after the Euros.

Has a decent win percentage throughout his management career, albeit a bit skewed by his time at Celtic when they were in the middle of that nine in a row and there was no one really capable of challenging them. European club form not especially impressive. He's OK, but doesn't ever seem to have had that really standout tenure where he did something really special, bar what he did with his earliest management roles in Norway, and that was a while ago now.
