  2. 'Scotland's rallying words prove hard sell after Munich'published at 11:27 British Summer Time 16 June

    On the day after the night before, things were icy in the Olympia-Eissport-Zentrum, the rink that doubles as Scotland's media centre in Garmisch-Partenkirchen.

    This place is an oasis, an escape from the bedlam - and now frustration and anger - of Munich, but there are certain things that Steve Clarke and his players can't avoid no matter how rural the setting.

    The thoughts in their own heads, for example. The mind-dulling reality of what Germany did to them, and what they did to themselves, at the Allianz Arena.

    There wouldn't have been many takers for this news conference. Callum McGregor stepped up.

    Experienced head. Respected. Well-versed in talking about bad beatings in Europe after some of his experiences with Celtic over the years.

    Scotland were out training this morning and I spy a few smiles in there. I'm taking some solace in that. I think. Aye, why no?

    As Jonathan reports below, all players were out training today with no injury concerns.

    Glorious Garmisch today as the sun finally shows itself. It has been a reluctant visitor to this alpine idyll over the last week or so. Hopefully the warm glow lifts spirits all round two days on from the mauling in Munich.

    The very good news is that all 26 players trained this morning, so no new fresh injury concerns.

    Steve Clarke will sit down with the media around 12:30 BST. It will be interesting to get his reflections on the 5-1 defeat to Germany having now had a chance to watch back.

    It will also be interesting to get his views on Switzerland who Scotland play next in Cologne on Wednesday. The Swiss were impressive in their 3-1 victory over Hungary yesterday.

    The mantra on Friday night from Steve Clarke was that the target now is 4 points.

    The delirium in the build-up to Friday has well and truly evaporated but there is hope in the reality that Scotland still have two games to turn their tournament around.
