Scotland manager Steve Clarke spoke to the media before his side’s crucial Euros clash against Switzerland in Cologne on Wednesday.
Here were the key points from his press conference:
-
He told me to expect “at least one change”, with a smile on his face. We all know Ryan Porteous is banned for two matches. But the answer suggests there might be more. Billy Gilmour to start, anyone?
-
The other main message from the Scotland boss was a simple one: “We have to go again. It’s as simple as that.” He means there’s no point in looking back to the wreckage of the Germany game. It’s all about the Swiss now.
-
On tomorrow’s opponents, he says he expects a tough game. “They’re a good side.”
-
Clarke believes the response from his players in training and in the debriefs has been good but that now it’s time to deliver.
-
And the good news? “Everyone is fit.”
