Former Manchester United midfielder Brian McClair has been appointed performance director of the Scottish Football Association.
The 51-year-old was recently academy director at Old Trafford, where he won four Premier League titles and three FA Cups in an 11-year playing spell.
He said in a statement: "I am extremely proud to have been given the responsibility to help Scottish football move forward as performance director of the Scottish FA.
"I am sure my experiences can be of benefit to Scottish football."
The SFA added that he "was identified unanimously as preferred candidate during a recruitment process which involved the current Scotland national coach, Gordon Strachan, previous national coaches Walter Smith and Andy Roxburgh, as well as the Scottish FA's chief executive, Stewart Regan".
McClair, who won 30 caps for Scotland, will officially succeed Dutchman Mark Wotte on June 1.
