Stick or twist
Scotland’s apparent head coach conundrum
Hello
Steve Clarke was in the news yesterday for two reasons - naming his squad for the upcoming friendlies and looking to his post World Cup future.
The latest squad is as conservative and predictable as you would imagine. Imagination not being Steve’s strong point. Despite regularly being seen at games he doesn’t seem too interested in picking anyone playing in those games.
So you are Steve, so you are.

I’ve also been sharing my other newsletter Keith Notes since it started last month. I’ve only got a tiny number of subscribers there so please take a look and join in.
While I can understand not picking any Motherwell players under the thinking of they are better as a team than individuals (no way Clarke is getting the Stephen O’Donnell we’ve seen this season without JBA working his magic) he shouldn’t be using the same logic to Bloomhearts players such as Milne and Halkett.
Instead Steve has remained loyal to players who have virtually zero minutes in the legs this year.
