Alex McLeish used 47 different players in just 12 Scotland games between 2018 and 2019.
Steve Clarke replaced Big Eck and, across the next seven years, used 78 players in 81 matches.
Reflects both the club mentality Clarke wanted to build and his loyalty to the players.
Genuinely sad Steve Clarke quit because of reaction to Scotland's World Cup exit. Huge legacy over seven years, as Andy Robertson said. Football turns on small moments. If Scots drawn 1-1 with Morocco, would have gone though, but awful ref decisions cost Clarke & Scots. #Scotland

Steve Clarke's top 20 most-used players
From Clarke's top 20, only Callum McGregor and Stuart Armstrong weren't in the original World Cup squad.
Kenny McLean was Clarke's most-used substitute. From the top 20 only McLean & Armstrong made more sub appearances than starts
Scotland days at school, kids faces painted in saltires at nursery, the excitement and togetherness that this tournament brought to everyone in our country means so much to us all.
No one wanted to progress more than us players, and as much as the experiences and memories we’ll share will last forever, that doesn’t take away from how much this still hurts.
What the gaffer has given this group, on and off the pitch, has been immense. Not only by taking us to major tournaments but by how together we have felt as a squad and as a nation. Representing Scotland means everything to us and to him I’ll be forever grateful.
I hope the generation of young Scots who experienced this World Cup grow up believing that seeing Scotland on this stage is the new norm.
Thanks to everyone in the stands and in the streets of Boston and Miami, and to everyone back home for the incredible support.
Proud to be Scottish 🏴💙
@CadetesGhirl You don’t half talk shite. The most talented in 30 years?!?!? Hahahaha, is that because the players have made 3 tournaments?? Fucking hell
Thank you Gaffer! 🏴🙏💙💪
You have given me, my family & the whole Scottish nation some of our greatest collective memories of a lifetime.
A son of Scotland. 🏴✊️
