Steve Clarke Leaves Door Open on Scotland Job After World Cup Breakthrough

Scotland now prepares for the December 5 World Cup draw from pot three in Washington.

Overview

  • Scotland beat Denmark 4-2 at Hampden Park to reach their first men’s World Cup since 1998.
  • Clarke says he is still "75-25" likely to depart after the tournament yet noted "the door is always open," with the Daily Record reporting SFA chiefs would welcome him staying.
  • Captain Andy Robertson hailed Clarke as Scotland’s greatest manager and credited a galvanizing pre-match speech for the team’s fast start.
  • Clarke said he hopes qualification will inspire young players and stressed that reaching today’s expanded World Cup remains difficult.
  • Logistics move ahead with base-camp choices due soon after the draw and two March friendlies scheduled as tournament preparation.
