Assistant manager Willie Donachie says he would love to be involved with Scotland's coaching team at some point in his career. Donachie won 35 caps during his playing career.

The former Manchester City player said: "It would be fantastic to get a job with Scotland - any job. I'd be kit man, no problem. To work with the players at that level would be special and it's an ambition of mine.

"One day in the future I would love to do it but at the moment I am enjoying the challenge at Ipswich. On our day we are the best team in the Championship and we are still in with a great chance of being promoted to the Premiership."

Donachie says Town's current situation is one the management would have accepted back in August: "We would have taken the position we are in now if it had been offered to us at the start of the season.

"But having got to where we are, we are determined to push on now and finish in the top two.

"Whatever happens though, I think the players have been terrific this season and it's been a great year.

"We know there are seven games to play and everyone of them is vital, but we have to keep believing and if we do that we have a great chance of making that top two finish."
