there’s a fairytale about this club 💚

[Aidan 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @Aidan_csc]

before clarke i had completely lost belief in our national team. the tournaments have been disappointing but it was the greatest experiences of my life being a part of them. thank you steve clarke.

[𝑨𝒚 𝑱𝒂𝒚 @aj__lmao]

there is only one hope.

[Boyle @Boyle_67]

Steve Clarke got us to 3 major tournaments including our first World Cup in 30 years, he deserves a massive thanks for that. But...the problem was once we got to the major tournaments the handbrake was left on and we were brutal, dull, boring. Grant Hanley. Bye Steve 👋

[ceern @NotoriousBAG_]

@TheAthleticFC This is a lot of shite 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Inside The SPFL @AgentScotland]

Really mixed feelings on this, our three appearances at tournaments under Clarke have been diabolical, but before he took charge I genuinely didn't think I'd ever see us at another tourney, under him I felt like we could qualify for all of them, he'll be a very hard act to follow

[Scotland Goals @ScotlandNTGoals]

While a fresh chapter for Scotland is most certainly needed at this point.

Serbia, Spain, Norway, Denmark.
Moments that will never be forgotten.

All the best, Steve 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[Jake. @YedIin]

Not nice to be pushed out of a place you want to be, isn’t it?

[𝐃𝐈𝐆𝐁 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @_DIGB]

Cape Verde that has the same population as Edinburgh sealed a last 32 spot which kills the ‘small population’ argument

Haiti scored more goals than us

Jordan had more attempts on target than us

AND there are still morons in the media defending Steve Clarke

Scotland Fans: 2002-2022 - “I just wish we were there”.

Scotland Fans: 2026: “It’s not about just being here”.

Beat Haiti, lost to Morocco and Brazil.

On Par. Slightly disappointed because it’s the hope that kills you.

Very much hope we’re there in 2030.

This reminds me of those livestreams tracking the oxygen levels on board the titan sub when it had already imploded 2 days before

Scotland: "Players aren't good enough "🤣

The worst argument to appear in the hangover of this campaign & that we can't play football, it's coaching & style, 100%!

Scott McKenna - LCB
- Double winner in Croatia
- Voted in Team of the Year

All this in a country that we constantly use an example of a domestic league creating ball-playing technical footballers recognising him as one of the best...

Jack Hendry - RCB
- Defender of the Year in Belgium 2021
- Won Title with Club Brugge following that season 2022

Has all the attributes to be a very good level ball-playing defender and probably proved himself at this WC, one of the few.

Fullbacks:
- Hickey a £20m Premier League Right-Back
- Nathan Paterson a £10m Premier League Right-Back
- Andy Robertson a Prem, CL & Multiple trophy winning Premier League Left-Back
- Kieran Tierney, yes injuries have hampered him, showed in 2nd Half how good he is.

Midfielders:
- Lewis Ferguson was Serie A Midfielder of the Year 2024 & Won Coppa Italia
- McTominay was Player of the Year & a title-winner in 2025 with Napoli
- Ryan Christie has been exceptional under Iraola as a CDM for a top Bournemouth side but hasn't played that role under Steve Clarke
- John McGinn just captained Aston Villa to a European Trophy but again under clear instruction of Emery

Attackers:
- Lawrence Shankland scores goals, you just need to create a chance.
- Adams & Stewart similarly, you need to create chances
- Doak is hot & cold but has Elite-Pace & Fearlessness, feed him the ball in the Final Third to feet and allow him to create.

We need a "Style of Play" to show how good this Squad can be!

[adidasler @adidasler3]

5 shots on target across 3 tournaments?

Why is Clarke still in a job?

[Euan Wilson @EuanWilson97]

Cape Verde scored two goals in 90 minutes.

We have scored 3 goals in 9 games across the last two euros and this World Cup.

It just doesn’t need to be this boring.

[DandyDon @DandyDonSF]

I’m torn, I get the criticism of Steve Clarke being too negative, but Hendry, McKenna and Hanley produced monumental errors. McTominay, McGinn, Robertson never played nearly the level they can.
Lewis Ferguson is the only player that can return home with his head held high.
