Scotland manager McLeish admitted he would consider an approach from Birmingham despite a qualifying draw for the 2010 World Cup which could see the Scots qualify for the finals for the first time in over a decade.

He said: "It would be a big decision and I've got a lot of thinking to do, if indeed Birmingham approach the SFA and say that they're interested."

McLeish was in Durban, South Africa, for the draw which lined Scotland up against Holland, Norway, FYR Macedonia and Iceland.

Having been matched with Italy, France and Ukraine for Euro 2008 qualifying, Scotland have a less difficult task ahead of them.

But McLeish may not be around to see the job through, although he insisted a move to the Premier League might be a long way off.

"That is attractive to me, yes, in the long term," he told Sky Sports News.

"It's maybe something I can look forward to. I really enjoy the Scotland situation and who knows - I could be away in two or three weeks or I could be here for the next five years.

"And it wouldn't faze me to keep working with Scotland and hopefully take them to a World Cup finals.

"It's not so much undecided. If somebody was to come and make an offer or someone was attracted to take me to another club, then that's still to happen and the SFA would probably have to listen and I would have to listen."
