Croatia 2-1 Scotland: What Steve Clarke said

Scotland head coach Steve Clarke: “I thought we were brave with the ball. We tried to play, tried to create chances. On another night we would’ve got what we deserved.

“There’s so much disappointment in the dressing room that it’s probably better to wait until we get back to Glasgow to analyse the game, but I feel like we’re on the right path.

“We haven’t regressed. We just have to keep believing, keep pushing away.

“We felt as though we managed to rescue a point and then that’s taken away, so you can understand why [the players] are really down just now.

“We’ll go away lick our wounds and prepare to go again on Tuesday night.”
