Scotland have not gone six matches without a win since a run from October 2007 to September 2008.

Steve Clarke spoke of his pain after Scotland lost 4-0 to the Netherlands in their friendly encounter in Amsterdam which served as the start of preparations for Euro 2024.

Scotland striker Lawrence Shankland hit the bar in the 62nd minute with only goalkeeper Mark Flekken to beat and they were made to pay 10 minutes later when Georginio Wijnaldum headed in a second.Goals from substitutes Wout Weghorst and Donyell Malen in the 84th and 86th minutes then made it six games without a win for the Scots, with 18 goals conceded ahead of the friendly against Northern Ireland at Hampden Park on Tuesday night.

“The players are suffering and I am suffering but there was lot of good stuff, we were very competitive with a good Dutch team for 70 minutes.“We spoke about it before so obviously we know we have to tighten up. “I will sit with my staff, analyse the game and try to prepare something that we can show to the players tomorrow.“But there is a lot to be positive about. People can look at the scoreline and go negative, that’s up to them.
