Zander Clark is ready to go to war in his bid to claim the gloves for his country.
But the Hearts keeper insists there will be no bad blood with Angus Gunn or Liam Kelly as it’s a battle between a band of brothers with an unbreakable bond. Norwich No.1 Gunn and Motherwell’s Kelly will fight it out with Clark next week in their bid to start for Scotland as boss Steve Clarke assesses his goalkeeping options ahead of a double-header against Cyprus and Spain.
The 30-year-old admits it’s been a bittersweet twist of fate which has allowed him to replace the injury-stricken Craig Gordon as first choice at Tynecastle and his form has earned a recall into the international fold. Regardless of which man is selected to stand between the sticks against the Cypriots next Saturday, Clark knows it’ll be a changing of the guard now the era of David Marshall, Allan McGregor and Gordon is at an end.
