Clarke calms anxious Tartan Army after Scotland injury woes

In trying to calm his anxious Tartan Army, Steve Clarke is taking a leaf out of the Dad’s Army playbook. Don’t panic, was his main message here in Faro last night, after Scotland’s burgeoning injury crisis claimed its latest victim in Lyndon Dykes.

“I don’t see any reason to be negative about anything. Injuries are part and parcel of football, the players understand that, the coaches understand that, you just need to deal with anything thrown at you and get on with it.The nation itself still seems to be looking forward to it, if the enthusiasm of one Scotland supporter in Glasgow is anything to go by, who certainly wasn’t getting his knickers in a twist about much of anything.

That passion for the national team and the excitement about what they may be able to achieve in Germany is something Clarke has been eager to tap into. “It’s nice to be in the country. I think the players are enjoying it as well. The last time we went to Spain for the pre-camp and had a lovely camp there in La Finca Resort.

"And then because it is the first game starting on the Friday we have five days going into the Swiss game. So, we have plenty of time to deal with any tactical things we need for each game.
