On today’s Football Show with Alison McConnell, Tam McManus, Alan Rough, and Richard Foster, we react to Scotland’s heavy 3-0 defeat to Greece at Hampden and the brutal drop to Nations League B. Is this just a “bump in the road” as Steve Clarke insists—or a turning point for the national team?

🔹 Formation Frustrations
Why did Scotland play with no natural wingers? Should Kieran Tierney have started? Why was Lewis Ferguson dropped after a strong first leg? The panel debates Clarke’s selection and whether his loyalty to certain players is holding Scotland back.
🔹 Steve Clarke's Future as Scotland manager
