Craig Levein wants Scotland's footballers to show the same dedication as Andy Murray when they meet up for his first game in charge.

New national team boss Levein is a huge admirer of British number one Murray, who is preparing for his second grand slam final at the Australian Open on Sunday morning.

"I think he is an example, not just to youngsters who want to play tennis but to professional people," Levein said. "The amount of hours that he puts in in practise, that should be an example to everybody, including football players."

He added: "Every Scottish football player will know of the achievements of Andy Murray."

Levein marked a month in charge of his country by making the draw for the fifth round of the Emirates Junior Cup.

He said: "I'm absolutely thrilled to be the Scotland manager and I'm working very, very hard, first and foremost to try to make sure that we get a decent result against the Czech Republic and try to get everybody available if we can.

"We've got the (Euro 2012) draw next week as well."

Before accepting the job, Levein expressed fears over a possible boredom factor from not having a day-to-day involvement on the coaching field.

"I got that one wrong!" he said.

"I've taken over with the draw coming up and also I feel that I need to get round and try to speak to as many people as possible, managers and players - and then there's a game. After the game on March 3, I hope things will settle down a bit."
