Clarke explains his Scotland picks as three Lanarkshire stars set for Euro 2024

Scotland boss Steve Clarke has named his provisional squad for the European Championships in Germany this summer - with three Lanarkshire players named in the 28-man pool.

The Scots will also play Finland in a friendly at Hampden on June 7, allowing the Tartan Army to give the team a big send off before the travel to Germany to take on the hosts in the tournament opener on Friday, June 14 at the Allianz Arena in Munich. Speaking at the squad announcement press conference this afternoon, Clarke said: "It gives us a little bit of breathing space and we'll look over them during the camp to see how their fitness is. Two will miss out, which is unfortunate, but such is the life of a head coach.

"I lost my two first-choice right wing backs Aaron and Nathan. Ross had a difficult time when he first went down to Bristol but got back into the team in the second half of the season, so it is a chance to look at him as well and see how he is doing.
