""Performances don't get you qualification. If you'd said at the start of this camp we'd come out with six points, everyone would've been really happy," the Scotland boss began."
""But, I have to be honest, tonight I was really, really disappointed in my team. I don't think we got anywhere near the levels we can reach and that was really disappointing.""
"\"I'm going to have to have a good look at the two games. The first game, we dug in when it wasn't going our way. Tonight, the game was far too open and we didn't control the game without the ball, and we weren't good enough with the ball. Both sides of the ball were wrong tonight," Clarke admitted."
Scotland beat Belarus 2-1 at Hampden Park to move closer to World Cup 2026 qualification, with Che Adams scoring after 15 minutes and Scott McTominay adding an 84th-minute goal. Belarus substitute Gleb Kuchko pulled a goal in stoppage time, creating a nervy finish and exposing defensive lapses. Head coach Steve Clarke expressed deep disappointment, saying performances alone do not secure qualification and insisting the team did not reach its potential. Clarke criticised both defensive and offensive play, highlighted loss of control without the ball, and said he will review the two recent games despite taking three points.
