Should Steve Clarke be facing Scotland sack if Nations League goes same way as Euros? Saturday Jury

ANDY NEWPORT: I’d bring in John Souttar to give us a better passing option out of defence after seeing Grant Hanley struggle to find a five yard forward pass. And Ben Doak deserves a start after his bright cameo. The country could do with something to offer excitement and the Liverpool kid is our best hope on that front.

CRAIG SWAN:Scotland had a spark against Poland in their play. They just didn’t defend properly and made individual errors. Cut those out and improvement is automatic.

MICHAEL GANNON: That’s the problem – there aren’t many. Doak is an obvious shout, but the youngster is just a name to throw into the mix right now as we don’t really know what he can do. Clarke isn’t leaving out any superstars, he just needs the likes of Aaron Hickey, Lewis Ferguson, Kieran Tierney and Che Adams to get back and the others to step up and screw the nut in the meantime.

ANDY: Confidence has evaporated after those sore defeats to the likes of England, France and Holland earlier this year. There were signs of it returning against the Poles but individual blunders cost us dear.

CRAIG: Tough opponents and below-par performances are a bad mix. The opposition gets no easier in the next five games, so Clarke has to tighten them up, although it doesn’t help not having Kieran Tierney and Aaron Hickey.

MICHAEL: Defending. Scotland have forgotten how to be hard to beat and are shipping goals at an alarming rate. That’s three or more conceded in six of the last 13 games. Then, when we do try to be tight, we don’t have the pace or cutting edge to cause problems on the break. It’s a brutal combo.

ANDY: It’s likely to be a smelly run of fixtures but we knew that before we kicked off the Nations League campaign. We’re in amongst the big
