Clarets boss Owen Coyle has committed his future to the Turf Moor club so removing himself from the list being drawn up for the vacant Scotland post.

It was only natural that the Scot would be linked with the role following George Burley yesterday.

Coyle has been garnering admirers with his success at both St Johnstone and Burnley but the but the Glaswegian has made it clear that his future lies with The Clarets.

Speaking to Sky Sports he adamantly said: "There's nothing to be said about Scotland, I'm the Burnley manager and that's it.

"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."
