 Burley has urged the SFA to clarify his future as national manager
|
George Burley looks to have won his fight to remain Scotland manager after a meeting with Scottish FA president George Peat.
Burley's position is under review after the failure to reach the play-offs for next summer's World Cup finals.
But he is believed to have had showdown talks on Monday, when it is thought that he persuaded Peat he should remain in charge for the Euro 2012 campaign.
The SFA hierarchy will meet on Tuesday and is expected to ratify the decision.
SFA chief executive Gordon Smith confirmed that he and his colleagues would be meeting to discuss Burley's future at Hampden.
But, as he arrived at the SFA's Hampden Park HQ, Smith was giving little away.

He said that there would only be a statement "at the appropriate time" if there was anything new to report.
The meeting of SFA office bearers is expected to be held around noon, but it is not expected that Burley, who is under contract until 2012, will be in attendance.
However, Peat, Smith, Campbell Ogilvie and Alan McRae will discuss his future after the national team failed yet again to qualify for the finals of a major tournament.
Despite being handed a relatively kind draw for the 2010 World Cup qualifiers, a 1-0 defeat by the Netherlands at Hampden on Wednesday meant Burley's side finished third in Group Nine behind the Dutch and Norway.
Scotland have not qualified for the finals of a major tournament since the 1998 World Cup in France and that failure following a troubled campaign had left Burley battling for his future.
Opinions were mixed with regards Burley's probable fate, but the former Hearts manager insisted over the weekend that he still has the appetite to continue.
"I still have a passion for this job," he said.
"We are heading in the right direction and I will do everything I can to make this country successful.
"However, if the SFA decide the job isn't there for me, I will accept it and move on."
