Scotland's national team is facing a goalkeeping crisis with their first-choice goalkeeper injured and the backup without a club. Head coach Steve Clarke expressed concerns about the shortage of quality goalkeepers available, noting an oversight in player development. He emphasized the importance of allowing young goalkeepers to gain competitive experience in lower leagues rather than just training. Angus Gunn is expected to play in upcoming friendlies, but the long-term solution for Scotland's goalkeeping woes remains uncertain, emphasizing the need for effective youth development.
Steve Clarke points out that Scotland has become overspecialized in fostering goalkeeper talents, noting the need to allow young players competitive play at lower league clubs.
Clarke highlighted that young goalkeepers often remain on the bench instead of gaining necessary match experience, which is crucial for their development.
