Scottish FA vice-president Rod Petrie has defended Gordon Strachan, saying he has done "a good job" as national team boss.

The Hibernian chairman gave his support to the under-fire Scotland boss following criticism in the wake of the poor start to qualification for the 2018 World Cup.

Friday's 3-0 defeat to Wembley leaves Scotland second bottom of Group F with four points from as many matches and increased calls for Strachan to quit.

Asked if Strachan retained his support, Petrie told STV: "Gordon Strachan is the national team manager, yes. He's done a good job."

When quizzed over whether or not he wished the former Celtic boss to remain in charge, Petrie refused to answer.

The Easter Road chief also defended those at the governing body running the game.
