Steve Clarke won't play Scotland guessing game but hints at potential pot 3 preference for Euro 2024 draw

Steve Clarke insists he doesn't care what pot Scotland are in for Euro 2024, but did hint at a possible preference depending on how they look after the qualification campaign has finished.

Norway are the visitors to Hampden on Sunday evening for the final match in Group A. Scotland and Spain have already claimed the top two spots in the group, with the Scandinavians resigned to a summer at home after they fell well short in what was expected to be a tight race between the top three.

Scotland could still top the group, but would need a massive favour from Georgia in Seville, so a pot 1 place in December's group stage draw is unlikely. A two-goal victory would see us up into pot 2, although on paper that may not necessarily be an advantage. And while Clarke is adamant he hasn't looked and was only ever bothered about making it to Germany, he did half acknowledge that staying in pot 3 may give his side a kinder looking outcome.

When asked how deeply he'd looked into where Scotland could end up, he replied: "Honestly, zero. I haven't looked. It doesn't concern me.

"The main objective was to be there. Pot 2, pot 3, it's all speculation because you don't know how the other games are going to pan out.

"So we'll go out and do our best to win the game. Then we'll decide after that whether we want to be in pot 2 or pot 3!"

Despite qualifying, Scotland are currently on a four-game winless streak. Defeat at home to England and away in Spain was followed by a friendly loss in France, although the losing run was halted thanks to Lawrence Shankland's last gasp leveller in Tbilisi on Thursday night.

That being the case, Clarke is keen to finish on a high. he added: "It's always important to win. We want to win.
