"I'd be a bit daft if I wasn't proud because I'm the first guy to reach that amount of games. It's nice, but that's a little personal thing at the moment. It shouldn't be about me. It's about the team and it's about trying to get to the World Cup so that's what we're going to focus on. The brief was to qualify for tournaments. We've managed to do that twice, but we want to do it again because we're all greedy. Did I think it would last this long? Probably not, but here I am."

The brief was to qualify for tournaments. We've managed to do that twice, but we want to do it again because we're all greedy. The expectation was to do as well as I could.

Steve Clarke prepares to take charge for his 72nd match, surpassing Craig Brown as Scotland's longest-serving manager by matches. Scotland remain unbeaten after three World Cup qualifying games and sit level on points with group leaders Denmark following a 3-1 win over Greece.

Clarke stresses focus on qualifying and improving the team. Lewis Ferguson and Ryan Christie are suspended despite scoring, and Aaron Hickey is doubtful.
