It's official. The Tartan Army can now boogie on down and book for the European Championship finals in Germany next summer. The Hotline was full of praise for Scotland boss Steve Clarke and his players as back-to-back qualification for the Euros was confirmed by Spain's win in Norway. Harry McInnes, Glasgow, said: "Take a bow Steve Clarke for restoring pride into our national football team.
It's an amazing achievement to qualify for Germany with two games to spare. Now we need to push on from this and make an impact next summer as this squad has something really special about it." Kenny Wilson, Moffat, said: "Well done Scotland on qualifying for the Euro Finals in Germany it’s a great achievement in a very difficult group.
It’s good to see our national team qualifying for major tournaments again and being able to compete against the best." John Thomson, East Kilbride, said: "Congratulations to our national team on qualifying for the European Championships in Germany next year.
I hope the friendly against France on Tuesday is used by Clarke as an opportunity to give either one or both of the back-up goalkeepers a game. "Both keepers have been in the majority of the squads without getting a game, they have seen another keeper in the shape of Angus Gunn brought in from nowhere ahead of them.
