Clarke: Don't call me a miracle worker
Ahead of tonight's fixture against Belgium, Scotland manager Steve Clarke has insisted that he is not a miracle worker: he has simply always worked with good players. Clarke said: "I don’t think I have been: I think my players were fantastic at Kilmarnock and I thought the players were good on Saturday. You are always beholden to your players, they will decide if you are a good coach or a good manager."
Robertson says Scotland players must believe in their ability
Scotland captain Andy Robertson has called for his international team-mates to believe in their own ability ahead of tonight's Belgium game, and insisted he won't be starstruck by the Belgians - because he's played against many of them before. "I at least have the confidence of playing against these players at week in, week out so I’m used to it along with some of the other lads," said Robertson. "The other lads who maybe aren’t used to it need to rely on their own ability a wee bit more and believe in themselves."
