Steve Clarke resigns as Scotland boss moments after World Cup exit and parts with emotional farewell message

Scotland's miserable World Cup is officially over and the Tartan Army are heading home after Croatia defeated Ghana on Saturday night. A chastening 3-0 defeat at the hands of Brazil‚ which followed on from a nervy win over Haiti and an uninspiring 1-0 defeat to Morocco‚ had Steve Clarke and his players resigned to heading home at the first opportunity. That has now been mathematically confirmed as wins for Belgium‚ Bosnia & Herzegovina‚ Croatia‚ Ecuador‚ Senegal‚ as well as precious points for Iran‚ Paraguay and Sweden‚ meant that Scotland finished as one of the four worst third placed teams.

Scotland boss Steve Clarke admitted he believes his side are 'going home' from the World Cup after their loss to Brazil leaves them clinging to hopes of reaching the knock-out stages as one of the best third placed teams. The Tartan Army will be forced to watch on nervously over the coming days to see whether Scotland can finish as one of the eight best third placed teams. The heavy defeat to Brazil proved costly with Scotland's goal difference seeing them drop down the rankings‚ leaving them ranked sixth when the final whistle blew.

Steve Clarke told to 'grow up' by furious Scotland World Cup reporter as boss slammed for storming out of interview

Scotland manager Steve Clarke stormed out of his BBC interview after being quizzed on the anxious wait to see if his side will clinch one of the eight best third-placed spots‚ much to the annoyance of the Scottish fanbase. Clarke's side were comfortably beaten 3-0 by Brazil on Wednesday‚ with Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior setting the five-time World Cup champions on their way to victory with a first-half brace before Manchester United's Matheus Cunha sealed the three points in the 60th minute.

SCOTLAND 0-3 BRAZIL - RIATH AL-SAMARRAI AT MIAMI STADIUM: If Steve Clarke's worst fear was a drubbing‚ then he ought to avoid seeking anything positive from the fact Scotland suffered a mere 3-0 defeat in Miami. That Brazil didn't score more is something akin to a World Cup miracle. They battered Scotland‚ dragging them from pillar to post in a tie that often looked an utter mismatch and concluded with Clarke sweating profusely over progression to the knockout stages. But he will know how much worse it might have been‚ with two strikes from Vinicius Jr and a third by Matheus Cunha the very least that Brazil deserved on the night. Of the 21 chances that went to Carlo Ancelotti's side‚ as many as five or six might have gone in on another occasion‚ which says as much for the talent in the Brazilian attack as it did the Scottish inability to cover their backsides.
