Steve Clarke believes Scotland won't need the safety of the play-offs to reach Euro 2024. Do you share his optimism?
DAVID McCARTHY: It will depend on the qualifying draw but being a pot two side and avoiding the likes of France and England is massive, so yes, the manager has every right to be confident in the squad of players he has assembled.
ANDY NEWPORT: Nothing's ever straight-forward where Scotland are concerned but on the whole, Clarke and his players have found a way to get results and we should be looking forward to the next campaign with confidence.
GORDON PARKS: It's a bold claim and maybe one made on the back of a euphoric Nations League success but it's also wishful thinking. The reality with Scotland over the years is that qualification is always beyond us through the normal route and once again it will require the backdoor.
