Scotland head coach Steve Clarke chose to sit in the hot seat for the team’s daily media conference in the aftermath of Friday’s 5-1 defeat by Germany.
Here are the key points:
-
Clarke said he may have given the players “too much information” which may have “clouded” their thinking in Munich
-
However, the Scotland boss added the squad took the “wrong” interpretation of his instructions and he has had conversations with players about what went wrong
-
Clarke insisted Scotland can still get out of Group A but that the “little advantage” of a solid goal difference has gone, meaning they need four points form games against Switzerland and Hungary
-
There is “no danger” of Scotland lacking belief and the players know they need to “put it right” in Cologne against the Swiss
-
People should not be “too hard” on Ryan Porteous after his red card
