Steve Clarke can do without any more occasions akin to this. Relegation to the second tier of the Nations League is no disaster for Scotland. Indeed, it may be their natural habitat. It is just that the calamitous circumstances in which Clarke’s men crashed out of League A were alarming for anybody with an affiliation to Scotland.
Greece outfought, outthought and outplayed their hosts at Hampden Park. The tie was effectively over while the corporate classes were still shuffling back to their seats at the start of the second half. Greece did not add to that third goal; it never looked as if they would need to.
