Scotland boss Steve Clarke insists he’ll show his full respect to the Queen at Hampden - and hopes the Tartan Army will follow his lead.
The SFA have confirmed they have been given permission from UEFA to hold a minute’s applause for the late monarch ahead of the Nations League showdown with Ukraine. The move comes after a weekend of high profile domestic flashpoints involving Celtic and Dundee United supporters ahead of Monday’s state funeral.
And, while Clarke stopped short of demanding a better level of behaviour from Scotland’s fans, he admitted he’s hoping to avoid being caught up in the eye of another storm of controversy. He said: “For me I will do my usual and show the respect that should be shown on such an occasion. For other people? I don’t think it is for me to judge. But hopefully it goes off and it is a respectful moment before the game.”
