Coyle committed to Clarets

Owen Coyle has ruled himself out of the running for the Scotland manager's job by committing his future to Burnley.

Coyle is one of several names to have been linked with the post since George Burley's dismissal on Monday following the team's 3-0 loss to Wales.

Coyle is widely recognised as one of the brightest young managerial talents in the game, but the Glaswegian has made it clear that his future lies at Turf Moor, saying: "There's nothing to be said about Scotland, I'm the Burnley manager and that's it."

He added: "Without going overboard about it, we'll put some closure on this just now.

"We have a big, big job here to do what we are doing in the Premier League and I don't want any distraction ahead of the Aston Villa game on Saturday.

"It's as simple as that - I'm the Burnley manager. I've been in the position before where there has been advances from other clubs and I have always said that I am loving everything that I am doing at this football club.

"That remains the case so I think that would tell everybody my feelings. I love it at Burnley Football Club, my job is here and that is what I will look to continue to do."
