Norway manager Stale Solbakken has blasted Scotland boss Steve Clarke for cancelling a closed doors friendly between the two nations scheduled for today without speaking to him directly:
โItโs unprofessional of Scotland. Itโs unprofessional that their coach [Clarke] didnโt call me.
โItโs disappointing. Itโs unprofessional. But we have to live with it.โ
Scotland are believed to have cited injury concerns as the reason for pulling out of the friendly.
