Scotland: Steve Clarke is the ‘right man for the job’ – Leanne Crichton

Former Scotland midfielder Leanne Crichton believes that head coach Steve Clarke is still “the right man for the job”.

Thursday’s 3-2 defeat by Poland was Scotland’s fifth loss in 2024, with Clarke’s side managing just one win in their last 13 matches.

But Crichton, who earned 72 caps for her country, backs the 61-year-old to turn things around.

“He’s the right man for the job right now,” Crichton told BBC Radio Scotland’s Sportsound. “I don’t think he’d be there otherwise.

“His remit is to qualify for major tournaments and he’s taken the men’s national team to two.

“He has set his sights on the World Cup, so let’s give him that chance. I don’t see anyone that I’d have come in instead.”
