2 h. ago Tuchel criticises ‘silent’ England fans, World Cup qualifying news and more: football – live

⚽ All the latest going into weekend’s internationals⚽ Sign up for Football Daily | Mail MichaelPerhaps we should start with Scotland. Ewan Murray was our reporter at Hampden and was brutally honest about how fortunate the home side were to take a crucial victory over Greece.If Scotland make it to the promised land of next summer’s World Cup, they will glance back at this as a crucial evening. There must also be laughter to accompany reflection.No sane observer could claim Steve Clarke’s team deserved to prevail here. Lewis Ferguson and Lyndon Dykes sealed the win. Dick Turpin sprang to mind. Someone, somewhere appears to be smiling on Scotland’s bid to play in a World Cup for the first time since 1998. The Scots, who had just 31% possession, are now in an excellent position in Group C. A playoff spot could be secured on Sunday evening, when Belarus visit Glasgow. Greece, who next travel to Denmark, need snookers. Continue reading...

14 h. ago Ferguson is Scotland’s hero as they fight back to steal vital victory over Greece

Maybe, just maybe, Scotland will end their painful wait. If the nature of this win over Greece counts, someone is smiling favourably on Steve Clarke’s bid to lead his country to a first World Cup since 1998. Greece were superior to the Scots in so many departments here yet still lost. Lewis Ferguson’s first strike for his country and Lyndon Dykes, who scored in stoppage time, have Clarke daring to dream. It was victory that mattered here, not how it was achieved, which is just as well.Assessment of this Scotland team is not particularly easy. Euphoria swept the country as Clarke led his men to the last European Championship. Epic disappointment was not only the theme in Germany but again as the Scots returned for Nations League action. Scotland rallied impressively in that group before a comprehensive defeat by Greece in a playoff. Continue reading...

43 h. ago Clarke nonplussed by Katy Perry but hopes for fireworks from Scotland in qualifiers

Scotland’s manager not aware his squad shared a hotel with the pop superstar with focus solely on Greece gameEven close proximity to a global superstar cannot divert Scotland’s attention from their World Cup dream. Or is it a teenage one? Katy Perry shared a city centre hotel with Steve Clarke and his squad this week as the singer’s Lifetimes Tour stopped off in Glasgow. Clarke did not quite go as far as saying, “Katy who?” but he was nonplussed by his squad rubbing shoulders with a bestselling artist.“Was she?” said Clarke when asked about Perry’s whereabouts. “I didn’t know she was there. I’ve heard the name and I’m sure if you played me a couple of her songs I’d say: ‘I recognise that one.’ But I couldn’t name you one of her songs. That’s no disrespect to Katy but I’m from a different generation.” Pressed on whether he would even recognise Perry, Clarke – by now laughing – added: “Eh, no. And she wouldn’t recognise me.” This very much feels like two worlds that should never colli...
