Steve Clarke sidesteps Erling Haaland hype train as Scotland boss reminds confident Norway 'it's a team game'

Steve Clarke played down the threat posed by Erling Haaland on Saturday - reminding his players it's a "team" game and not about one individual.

Much has been made of Haaland's return to the Norway setup after missing their autumn internationals due to injury and he's been tipped to fire them to a big win in Oslo over the Scots. He comes off the back of a scarcely believable season for Man City where he scored 52 goals and fired them to a Treble.

Couple that with the potent threat posed by Arsenal's Martin Odegaard and it's easy to see why the feeling coming out of the Norway camp is confident as they look to beat Scotland and eat up some ground in the tussle to qualify for Euro 2024. But Clarke has been quick to remind both sets of players that regardless of any individual talent, it will be the best team that wins.
