Clarke hails side's composure as Scots avenge Dublin loss

Scotland manager Steve Clarke praised his side for showing the patience and composure to overturn a half-time deficit and defeat Republic of Ireland 2-1. The Scots - playing their second game in 72 hours - trailed at the break to John Egan's opener at a packed-out Hampden. But Jack Hendry's second-half header and a late Ryan Christie penalty - following Alan Browne's handball - were enough to secure a crucial victory for Clarke's side as they moved back above Ukraine at the top of Nations League Group B1 ahead of Tuesday's showdown between the two nations in Krakow. "It was as tough a game as we expected, you could see Ireland had a clear week to prepare for the game," said Clarke.

"It took us a bit of time to get a foothold and by that time we had conceded from a set-piece which plays into Ireland's strengths as they have good pace up front and are a good counter-attacking team. "Towards the end of the first half we had better control of the game. I said to the boys at half-time just to stay patient and keep working the ball into good areas. "I knew eventually the game would come back to us. At half-time it was about having a little reset just to calm the boys down. "You don't want to get them too frantic and starting to put the ball into the box from deep areas. "Eventually we go to 1-1 and the penalty was right. If you jump for the ball like that with your hands in front and it stops the ball going goalwards, it's a penalty."
