Former QPR manager Harry Redknapp has admitted he would be tempted by managing Scotland.

The 70-year-old, who was recently sacked by Birmingham after six straight defeats, has not given up hope of finding more work in his career.

Scotland are looking for a new manager to replace Gordon Strachan after they failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup, extending their absences from major tournaments to 20 years; the current longest of the home nations.

"Of course," the veteran manager told BBC Scotland when asked if the Scotland vacancy would interest him.

"It must be a fantastic job to have. I think Gordon did what he could."

Redknapp has taken charge of West Ham, Bournemouth, QPR, Birmingham, Tottenham, Portsmouth (twice), Southampton in his career as well as the Jordanian national side.

Triffic! Harry Redknapp eyes Scotland job

The former Rs boss claimed that he enjoyed watching Scotland's final two World Cup qualifiers - a 1-0 win over Slovakia, and a 2-2 draw in Slovenia that saw them miss out on the play-offs.

"I must be truthful, I watched the Scotland games and not the England games, because there was nothing on the England games," Redknapp added.

"Those last two Scotland games, the win against Slovakia, the late goal, I kicked every ball that day.

"Then I thought Scotland had a chance, and then 1-0 up in the second game (against Slovenia), it would've been a real great achievement to have qualified, but I think Gordon did what he could. It's a difficult job.

"I wouldn't see myself having any chance of getting it, but it would be a great job for someone."
