		Clearly uncomfortable at having to talk at length on the Leighton issue, the manager was relieved when the questioning reverted to football and, in particular, the San Marino match for which he has yet to name a side.

	Ananova - Leighton hits out at Hodgkinson
		Former Scotland star Jim Leighton has fired a broadside at international goalkeeping coach Alan Hodgkinson - and claimed he was the man responsible for his exit from the Scotland squad.
		Leighton, now a goalkeeping coach at Aberdeen, controversially left the Scotland squad during a European Championship double-header with Estonia and the Faroe Islands in 1999.
		The problems stem from a time when Leighton was going head-to-head with then Rangers keeper Andy Goram for the first-choice position in the Scotland line-up, and Hodgkinson was in his current role as goalkeeping supremo for both Scotland and Rangers.

		But Jim's enigmatic employer is not what he seems.
		With no previous sailing experience—far from the sanctuary of land and in the company of a stranger who is possibly delusional and certainly dangerous—Jim is suddenly trapped in a harrowing race for survival across the vast waters of the globe, fleeing a faceless threat that inexplicably knows where they are and where they are going.
		And when destiny places him alone at the helm, Jim's options are reduced to two: sail or die, because the terror relentlessly approaching at breakneck speed will not be shaken off or deterred—nor will it rest until Hustle and Jim Leighton both lie broken and lifeless on the ocean floor.

	:: united rant :: - fair and balanced football comment
		Drafted in by Fergie from his old club Aberdeen, Jim Leighton was a solid keeper - certainly a rarity out of Scotland at the time, but even though Jim was dependable, it seemed that he'd picked up the yips as the 1989-90 season drew on.
		Leighton rid himself of the yips and his career continued in fine style, as he progressed to be Scotland's most capped keeper of all time.

		With Scotland hanging on in the final minutes, hoping to secure the single point they needed to advance to the second round for the first time, Leighton allowed a mis-hit by Brazilian striker Muller to squirm through his grasp and trundle agonisingly slowly across the line.
