  3. 'Win takes us to September with realistic chance' - Clarkepublished at 19:48 British Summer Time 14 June 2022

    FT: Armenia 1-4 Scotland

    Scotland boss Steve Clarke: "We started the game pretty slow, probably the reaction to a long journey on the flight. They got behind us and we showed great character to come back.

    "I'm delighted for Stuart [Armstrong], Che [Adams] and John [McGinn], our forward players can score goals.

    "It was a game we wanted to win, one we probably had to win but maybe not mathematically. It takes us into September with a realistic chance of topping the group, that's what we wanted."

  4. 'I'm not going say this has been a good camp' - Clarkepublished at 19:47 British Summer Time 14 June 2022

    FT: Armenia 1-4 Scotland

    Scotland boss Steve Clarke: "We still had to capitalise [on a red card] and it was good we did that before half-time and immediately after half-time.

    "It was a difficult schedule for the players, but we haven't made excuses. I'm not going to make the international camp a good camp, we failed on our primary objective and had a really bad performance in Dublin. It was nice to bounce back.

    "The realistic fans are fantastic. I have nothing but praise for them. They know what we are trying to do."

    'Take the win after first 40 minutes'published at 19:39 British Summer Time 14 June 2022

    FT: Armenia 1-4 Scotland

    Brian: Great win but could have refrained from turning it into a training match with too many subs. Goal difference could be important in the end and we could have scored more. Take the win after the first 40 minutes though.

    For me it all turns round with the sending off and second goal. It's at a crucial time - if you get goals just before half-time it gives you that boost. In the second half it was a canter, and there were some good performances.

    There's a lot of doom and gloom sometimes with Scotland. You'll always be asked questions. The reality was we had to go to Armenia, win the game and get the three points. Come September I'll expect us to be improved.

    It's never easy travelling away in international football and winning, especially with the start we had. Obviously we were aided by the sending off but I always felt we had enough in the tank.

    There were still concerns defensively, defenders not defending properly, having the instinct to deal with danger and making sure they stopped their opponent. We allowed too many chances which fortunately they didn't take.
