Simply the best: Scotland manager issues Euro 2024 demands at SFA board meeting
SCOTLAND’S penultimate Euro 2024 qualifier against Georgia a week today is pretty much a dead rubber with qualification for the finals in Germany next summer having finally been clinched with two games to spare last month.
But their manager Steve Clarke is not anticipating the former European champions and current section leaders slipping up in either of their remaining matches given their recent form. “Nothing changes for me,” said Clarke. “It was nice to qualify early, but the one thing gnawing away at the back of my head is that we are on a three game losing run. We want to stop that and the first chance to do it is in Georgia so that will be the target.
“It would also be lovely to finish on 21 points and push Spain all the way to the end in terms of topping the group. Six points is the aim and it would be pretty good to match Spain’s points total and say that we missed out on top spot to an unfortunate slip by Aaron Hickey in the 90th minute of an away game in Seville.”Clarke continued: “We are going to Turkey for a couple of days next week.
“Quite a lot of the boys, when you look at who they are playing for and the level, the training grounds and facilities, the hotels,Clarke and his colleagues at the SFA already have half an eye on the Euro 2024 finals in Germany next summer and the Scotland manager addressed a board meeting at Hampden last week and told those present what he would like first class flights, high quality accommodation and five star training facilities.
There were several notable absentees from the Scotland squad that Clarke named yesterday – Angus Gunn, Grant Hanley, Kieran Tierney, Andy Robertson, John Souttar and Aaron Hickey were all absent due to injuries.
