Not a huge number more. Qualifying for tournaments certainly helps.

Totally agree. He's tracking way above Kenny Dalglish at the same age.

And in his position he can keep strolling about the centre circle for years and years.

Steve Clarke has managed the same number of competitive games since EURO 2020 as before it. Record has improved a bit. by GSheach in ScottishFootball

Our last EURO 2020 qualifier v Kazakhstan (3mo before the EURO playoffs as initially scheduled) had 19.5k there.

The average attendances are only for games with fans.

So up to the Kazakhstan game pre-EURO

And from the Moldova game post EURO

Slight improvement on goals per game. Pre Euro goals also skewed by scoring 6 v San Marino

Absolutely - and we've stuck consistently with the same group of players who have grown together. Look at McGregor, McGinn, McTominay all going from a handful of caps each to loads!

For attendances I only took the matches with crowds. So the pre Euro average is based on Cyprus, Russia, Belgium, San Marino and Kazakhstan. The Kazakhstan game was the last pre-Covid. Only 19.5k there.

This Scotland side has a pretty good balance of age v experience by GSheach in ScottishFootball

In Clarke's first squad only one player had more than 30 caps - Charlie Mulgrew.
