I have had enough of being the scapegoat for mistakes made in Scotland 15 years ago Berti Vogts

The 57-year-old resigned from his post on Monday, blaming the abuse he suffered from a minority of fans and a media witch-hunt.

"I am open to anything, but I will not return to the dug-out," he said, adding that he paid for others' past mistakes.

"Nobody has understood what I wanted to do and my experiences in Scotland have robbed me of my energy."

Vogts suffered poor results during his two-and-a-half year tenure.

But he added: "I have had enough of being the scapegoat for mistakes made in Scotland 15 years ago.

"I was trying to build up something new out of the footballing ruins.

"There are hardly any Scots playing in big European leagues. Where should I have picked star players?

"Most journalists and fans live in the past. They have not realised that Scotland is not the footballing nation it used to be."

Meanwhile, Scotland and Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Colin Cameron has vowed to do all he can to prevent a repeat of the "strangest day" ever in his career.

The former Hearts captain, along with Molineux striker Kenny Miller, lost two managers in one day, with Dave Jones leaving Wolves on Monday.

"It was the strangest day in my whole football career and I would never want to go through it again," he said.

"I first heard about Dave Jones at 9.30am on Monday. I got a telephone call on my way to training and was told he had been relieved of his position.

"He then had a meeting with the Wolves players when he said his goodbyes."
