And the future for the Scotland national team doesn’t look great either. Most of the current team are 30 ish or older and there’s not any good young players coming through with the exception of maybe Gilmour. Up front is a real worry. When did Scotland last have a top drawer striker/ CF ?

I don't know, the likes of Doak at Liverpool, Watson at Killie, Miller at Motherwell, Rory Wilson at Villa are in with a good shout. Lewis Ferguson is still only mid twenties.

I don't think MacPhee is the Scotland set-piece coach; he's an assistant coach. 

 

He is Aston Villa's set-piece coach, though. 

So, is no-one is coaching set pieces, not even AVFC's 'set piece coach'?

 

What does the assistant coach do: open, and regularly replenish, the mini-bar in the principal coach's room?

Have another watch of Mike Basset, England Manager and i think you'd get the idea of what the assistant coach does. Spoiler alert, not much!

Steve Clarke thought it a documentary.

Everyone on the wireless is saying Clarke’s time is up but who in their right mind would want the job all you’ve got to pick from is a bunch of dumplings.

Clarke signed a contract extension until 2026 so don’t see him going anywhere anytime soon

Not a great fan of Clarke but at least he got his team into the finals with a little bit of luck. Beyond expectations really but then journos get over excited and whip fans into a frenzy who then feel betrayed and demand the bloke’s head on a plate.

You will never build a good house with duff materials  my instructions last night would have been all out attack for the  90 minutes with Shankland on from the start

I was merely pointing out that that's not his title with Scotland.

His title with Scotland is: Assistant Coach (Failed).
