Friendly has added meaning as Euro 2024 opener loomsManager defends ‘informative’ results post-qualification
Steve Clarke has witnessed an “extra edge” in Scotland training this week as players compete to be chosen for the Euro 2024 finals in Germany. The manager’s team preparation for the tournament opener with the hosts in June starts with Friday’s friendly against the Netherlands at the Johan Cruyff Arena in Amsterdam.
Clarke, whose defenders Grant Hanley and Scott McKenna were late withdrawals with injury concerns, pointed to the competitiveness of his squad, with only 23 places available for the Euros.
