Steve Clarke, Head Coach of the Scotland National Team: âIt is an honor to be chosen Head Coach of the Scotland National Team, and I will take on those duties with pride and determination. âI am certain that we have a quality collection of players capable of international success. I'm looking forward to collaborating with them and assisting them in realizing their aspirations.
The Czechs began with nine debutants and were led by under-18s coach David Holoubek after Jaroslav Silhavy and his first-choice senior squad were quarantined.
Following the conclusion of the first round of UEFA #NationsLeague games, this is how League B â Group 2 looks.

After moving Scott McTominay to midfield, the three-at-the-back configuration gave him a starting lineup of five natural defenders. Scotland, on the other hand, surrendered a succession of first-half opportunities, as Andy Robertson failed to shine as a wing-back once again. Tierney once again played well, despite being shifted into a more natural centre-back post, and former Scotland player and coach Stuart McCall believes Clarke will continue to use both formations.
Clarke attempted to put the sometimes fierce rivalry between Scotland and England into perspective in an interview with the Guardian before to the tournament by stating that his boys were born in England. Clarke has lived in the area for the bulk of his adult and professional lives. He said that the remarks sparked good-natured family conflict. âI said in an interview last week that my two sons were English; gosh, that was an error!â Clarke admitted. âMy oldest, John, immediately called me after reading it and stated, âWe are not English; it is just where we were born.â He emphasized that they had a Scottish mother and a Scottish father, and that they all have Scottish ancestors. As a result, I need to clarify that one. To be precise, my children are Scottish.
