Craig Levein opts to serve a writ against the Scottish Football Association, who believe that there is no case to answer because he resigned from his position as manager.

Former national team manager Craig Levein has decided to serve a writ against the Scottish Football Association.

It is believed that the 48-year-old was left disappointed by the way that his time in charge was ended last month and as a result has started legal proceedings against the governing body.

However, the Scottish FA have issued a response in which they insist that they believe that there is no case for them to answer because Levein actually resigned from the position.

"Regrettably, the Scottish FA has received notification from lawyers representing Craig Levein that their client has served a writ on the Association," read the statement.

"This notification has been received despite the Scottish FA's offer to honour Craig's contract in full, an offer that was made immediately upon the board's decision to relieve Craig of his duties on November 5, 2012.

"The Scottish FA has since received notification that Craig has chosen to resign, thereby foregoing the offer made to honour his contract in full.

"In the notification received, failure to make a proposal in lieu of compensation has been cited. It is the view of the Scottish FA that no such offer is required given Craig's decision to resign, especially since an offer of mediation was rejected by his legal representatives."

Levein won 10 of his 24 matches in charge of the Tartan Army.
