Steve Clarke is expected to sign a contract extension with Scotland. The Scottish FA are lining up a new deal for the coach, regardless of how well his side perform at Euro 2020. SFA chief executive Ian Maxwell said: “Absolutely, we’ll be talking about that. We want to keep him. We are absolutely delighted with the job he has done. We’ll see how far we get in the Euros and we want to qualify for the World Cup in 2022. Hopefully he’s the Scotland manager for a long time to come and we keep qualifying for tournaments.”
