The Record Sport team reflect on a painful Amsterdam defeat and plot a way forward for Clarke and his troops.
Steve Clarke isn’t hitting the panic button but what are the concerns about Scotland’s recent winless streak? KEITH JACKSON: It’s not the kind of habit Clarke would have wanted to slip into ahead of this summer’s tournament. But he has time – and a cleverly handpicked list of fixtures – to get Scotland back on a winning streak before the finals. He’s right not to panic just yet.
MICHAEL GANNON: Conceding 18 goals in six matches is a worry, regardless of the context of the games. Clarke needs to get us back to being solid, while the emphasis will be on scoring in the remaining friendlies. There’s food for thought but no need to panic. GAVIN: Shankland deserves another chance to show what he can do. Yes, he missed that one big opportunity that came his way but his overall play was good and the Hearts hitman should be given a crack at Hampden.
FRASER: The midfield has earned the right to start again meaning only the make-up of the back three could be changed. MICHAEL: Any option of tinkering went out the window in the last 10 minutes in Amsterdam as Scotland now badly need a win, and that means a full strength side. It would be nice to see Ferguson getting more minutes though.
