Steve Clarke doesn't want Scotland to be "one tournament wonders" and is already thinking ahead to the next World Cup and beyond after singing a new deal.
The Scotland boss has committed his future after penning a new contract until 2026 on the eve of the Euro 2024 qualifying campaign kicking off against Cyprus at Hampden. After guiding the nation to their first appearance at a major finals in over two decades with a famous penalty shoot-out win over Serbia to reach Euro 2020, Clarke's men missed out on the 2022 World Cup in Qatar after playoff defeat to Ukraine.
Now it's all eyes on Germany in just over a year's time. Having been drawn in a qualification group alongside Spain and Norway, the consensus is that Scotland are fighting it out for second place with Erling Haaland and Co. After winning our Nations League group again, a playoff spot is already secured. But not having to rely on at least one nervy 90 minutes is the preference, and Clarke wants the country to be regulars again, even if he won't be around to lead the team in all of them.
