Scotland lost 5-1 in their Euro 2024 opener against tournament hosts Germany, however, the scoreline could have been slightly closer without Ryan Porteous' reckless red card in the first half for a horror tackle on Ilkay Gundogan.

Clarke will regroup with his side after their disappointing defeat and turn their attention to more slightly more winnable games against Switzerland and Hungary. The Tartan Army boss has also told his team they 'owe the nation' a performance on Wednesday evening.

Scotland need at least four points from their final two Group A games if they are to have any chance of booking their place in the knockout stages of the competition.

Like Germany, Switzerland are tough opposition and Scotland will have to be at their very best if they are to get a result. Clarke will be hoping he sees a similar performance to their impressive qualifying win against Spain earlier this year.
