• Former Scotland manager set for Selhurst Park role • Chris Coleman and Paul Hart had also been in running George Burley is expected to be unveiled as the new manager of Crystal Palace this afternoon. The former Scotland manager, 54, was interviewed by the CPFC 2010 consortium in charge of Palace last week and is believed to have beaten off competition from Paul Hart and Chris Coleman to land the job. The Eagles avoided relegation on the final day of last season under Hart, whose short-term contract then expired. Palace won an even bigger battle earlier this month when CPFC 2010 saved them from liquidation at the 11th hour. Burley’s finest achievement was guiding Ipswich Town into the Premier League in 2000 and to a fifth-placed finish the following season to qualify for the Uefa Cup. He has also enjoyed spells in charge of Derby County, Hearts and Southampton, but has been out of management since being dismissed from the Scotland job last November.
