Charlie Adam hits out at Scottish media for Craig Levein departure

Scotland and Stoke City midfielder Charlie Adam has blasted the Scottish media, accusing them of forcing national team coach Craig Levein to step down.

It is believed that the 46-year-old has left his post following a disappointing 2014 World Cup qualifying campaign, where the Scots only picked up two points from four games.

Adam tweeted: "I hear Craig Levein has gone. Unbelievable. Can't believe the Scottish papers got what they wanted."

Levein spent three years in charge of the national team.
