Steve Clarke defends Che Adams and details why striker is so important for Scotland despite lack of goals

Che Adams has just four goals in 17 caps for Scotland, but manager Steve Clarke is happy with his contribution to the team.

IF there was a World Cup for wallowing in nostalgia, then surely Scotland would be the Brazil of the sport. Nobody needs to tell Steve Clarke, for instance, that the national team no longer possesses a Kenny Dalglish, a Joe Jordan or an Ally McCoist. Though many fans of a certain vintage often do.

The subject has reared its head once more over the last week following Scotland’s defeat to Ukraine and the win over Armenia, where a 2-0 win could well have been going on for double figures if Clarke’s men had been more clinical at the national stadium.
