Gordon Strachan insists he doesn't fear the sack as Scotland manager despite the pressure being cranked up on the national team boss.

World Cup qualification defeat to Slovakia on Tuesday, as well as the disappointing home draw against Lithuania, has seen Strachan come in for criticism, with some questioning whether he should remain in his role.

But Strachan says he doesn't fear losing his job, instead highlighting why he enjoys taking charge of Scotland so much.

"Do I fear the sack? I don't," he told national newspapers. "Do I fear not working with these players? Yes. Do I fear not working with the staff? Yes. But I love this job.

"I have to make sure the players know, for me, getting the sack is not a problem. Not helping people get to where they want to go, that would be a problem.

"But I love working with the people, bumping into fans and getting a response from them. It's a fantastic job."
