Scotland 1-0 Croatia: What Clarke said

Scotland manager Steve Clarke: “First of all it’s nice to have a win on the board in a competitive match.

“I’m really pleased for the players, the effort they’ve put in up until now has deserved more points so really pleased to get the win.

“For me the pressure is not released. I still feel a little bit uptight. Just with the nature of the game when it’s so tight going into the end you’re always waiting on that low blow that’s affected us a few times recently.

“It’s nice to send the fans home with a smile on their face and they can wake up tomorrow and talk about a Scotland victory which they haven’t been able to do for a long time so I hope they enjoy it.”
