scotland head coach Steve Clarke will be glad the European Championships don’t start tomorrow. If so, he would be without eight squad regulars who are currently injured.
However, with just 52 days left until the tournament opener against hosts Germany, the Scotland boss will be hoping that the injury picture improves between now and then.
Clarke will name a provisional squad ahead next month ahead of the final two warm-up matches against Gibraltar on June 3 and Finland on June 7 before confirming his final selection, with UEFA set to rubberstamp an increase in squad sizes from 23 to 26 players this week.
