Scotland travel to Greece this evening in the Nations League and the return of Kieran Tierney has given Scotland head coach Steve Clarke "a lot to think about".

The Arsenal defender picked up a hamstring injury during Euro 2024, missing all of the matches in Scotland's debut campaign in the top tier of the competition.

The 27-year-old has been used sparingly by the London club, starting just twice in 11 appearances since late December.

"As a coach, you want as many difficult choices as possible," Clarke said ahead of Thursday's first leg in Athens. "I've got a few of them.

"It gives us another option. We've discussed it. Hopefully, we can come up with the right solution for the game."

You wonder what Gareth Southgate makes of these comments from his full-time successor.

England made the final of Euro 2024, yet Thomas Tuchel reckons they didn't have a clear playing style in Germany.

That they were 'afraid' to drop out of the tournament.

That's a pretty damning assessment from the now England manager if you ask me.

England manager Thomas Tuchel has told ITV about the three Lions' Euro 2024 campaign, where they reached the final and lost out to Spain: "Not last summer, no [they didn't have a clear playing style]. The identity, the clarity, the rhythm, the repetition of patterns, the freedom of players, the expression of players, the hunger [was missing].

"They were more afraid to drop out of the tournament in my observation than having the excitement and hunger to win it.

"[What has been missing] is the people feel that that is the team to beat. That we arrive with a group to beat. That we know already when we arrive, once we qualify and arrive that everyone knows this is the team to beat."

Is there anything specific you'd like to hear from Thomas Tuchel today?

To get you ready for his news conference, have a read of these quotes the England boss gave to ITV.

Scathing but impressive!

When a new manager arrives, so does uncertainty but what is certain is that Harry Kane will remain as England's captain under Thomas Tuchel.

Kane was named skipper just before the 2018 World Cup and we will hear his thoughts from 13:30 GMT - alongside the boss.

Just 44 places left to fill then...

Japan have become the first nation to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.

Of course co-hosts United States, Canada and Mexico have an automatic spot but Japan have just beaten Bahrain 2-0 to qualify.

The goals came from Daichi Kamada and Takefusa Kubo.

Japan have 19 points in Group C where the top two qualify automatically, 13 clear of third-place Saudi Arabia.

Manchester City goalscorer Vivianne Miedema speaking to TNT: "Really good. This should be our standard. We were really disappointed after the game on Saturday. We have had some special Champions League nights here and this one really sums it all up.

"I'm really happy that I came on. It's not bad, we all want to play Champions League. Today is special and hopefully we can put in the same performance next week."

On the confidence this gives the side: "Massive. We have been getting a lot of knocks everywhere, we are missing a lot of players and I'm happy we got this result today. It gives us confidence."

Vivianne Miedema's two goals last night moved her to joint-16th in the all-time Women's Champions League goalscoring charts.

She is equal with Patrizia Panico.

I think the second half really livened up but it was maybe a little bit of a surprise to some people to see that first defeat for Chelsea. But it sets up a fascinating second leg for sure.

Nick Cushing had a really successful period at his first spell at City and then left and worked in America for a number of years. But he knows the club and a good chunk of the players, certainly staff around the place so he seems to have fitted in seamlessly.

They didn't get the win in the Cup final at the weekend but it is sort of unprecedented to have four games in a row against Chelsea. It was always going to throw up some different results.
