Scotland’s incoming manager is set to appoint a former Premier League winger as an assistant, according to football gossip reported by multiple outlets. The reports do not name the individual in the provided summaries but indicate the new role is part of building the backroom staff.

In the same coverage, one outlet also links separate activity to Hearts, saying the club lodges a bid for a new striker. The scope and details of the Hearts move are not provided in the excerpts, and it is unclear how directly it connects to the Scotland appointment.

Across the two reports provided, the core point is consistent: Scotland’s manager is bringing in a former Premier League winger to join the coaching team. The accounts differ mainly in phrasing and the additional mention of Hearts’ transfer business, rather than on the specifics of the Scotland staff change.
