STEVE CLARKE has defended his tactics in the defeat against Ukraine after being criticised by pundits like former Scotland manager Craig Levein and former national team defender Willie Miller, telling the pair that they should know better having been involved in the international set-up themselves.
The Scotland head coach says that he isn’t affected by the opinions of others, and understands that pundits are paid to give them, but he is adamant that he was right to stick with the 3-5-2 system that has served his team well despite the poor performance in the World Cup play-off semi-final.
