Scotland head coach Steve Clarke tells BBC Scotland: “Really simple – what a fantastic group of players. Unbelievable.

“I’ve said it from the very start of my time. It took me a year, maybe 18 months, to work out the best way to go forward. If I give myself a bit of credit, I chose the right way.

“We chose more caps, more experience. When you come to a night like this, when you’re behind and struggling, and not sure it’s going to happen, I trust my players.

“I’ve told them so many times, I trust them implicitly.

“I woke up this morning, and as a manager you normally wake up with that tight feeling in your stomach. I didn’t have it this morning, and I thought ‘wow, that’s strange.

“I thought there was something wrong with me! But it’s because I trust my players so much.”
