Craig Levein's future as Scotland manager remains shrouded in mystery on Friday morning.

The seven-man Scottish FA board held discussions on Thursday to discuss the boss' position, with his job under threat after a poor start to the qualifying campaign for the 2014 World Cup.

It is not yet known whether a decision was reached by the governing body's hierarchy, or whether further meetings are required to deliberate on Levein.

With the squad for the forthcoming friendly with Luxembourg to be named on Tuesday, a call is expected to be made imminently.

Levein, who took over from George Burley in December 2009, has won just three of 12 competitive games in charge of Scotland.

Home games with Serbia and Macedonia at the start of the World Cup campaign were scheduled in the hope of getting points on the board early on in the tournament, but his side managed just two draws.

Defeats to Wales and Belgium on the road followed, leaving Levein's position under threat and Scotland bottom of their group with four games played.
