Former Scotland manager George Burley believes the Scottish Football Association has unrealistic expectations and branded the decision to dispense with Alex McLeish as "ridiculous".
McLeish's second spell as national team boss ended with the sack following just 12 games in charge after SFA board members gathered for a meeting at Hampden on Thursday morning.
Burley, who managed his country between 2008 and 2009, feels Scotland have a shortage of top-quality players and thinks both McLeish and his predecessor Gordon Strachan have been harshly treated.
