A new era begins for Scotland on Saturday as Steve Clarke takes charge for the first time, leading his side into a European Championship qualifier with Cyprus.
Clarke’s appointment to the role of manager was virtually universally welcomed following the departure of Alex McLeish after a shambolic return to the position, which culminated in a 3-0 loss against Kazakhstan in March.
Some face was saved thanks to an unconvincing 2-0 win over San Marino three days later, though the Scots already face a battle to qualify for the 2020 tournament via this route and must surely overcome Cyprus to stand any kind of a chance.
