Scotland: Steve Clarke disappointed with late Poland penalty - 'seven wins sounds better'

Steve Clarke described Poland’s late equaliser as a “penalty decision for a friendly” after Scotland were denied a seventh consecutive win at Hampden.

The Scotland manager now takes his team to play Austria in Vienna on Tuesday. It is another friendly at a time when Scotland are desperate to test themselves in competitive action.

They now know who they will play for a place at the World Cup if they can secure a play-off final spot with a semi-final win over Ukraine. The scene is set for a British derby to end British derbies in Cardiff after Wales overcame Austria with two Gareth Bale goals.

Scotland’s own World Cup ambitions are on hold following the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
