Scotland national head coach Steve Clarke says pitch invasions by fans in domestic matches are “a bad look” for Scottish football, while praising the behaviour of the national Tartan Army supporters. Clarke’s comments come after another incident in which fans spill onto the pitch to celebrate at club level. He contrasts these scenes with what he describes as the Tartan Army’s approach, saying they have avoided similar problems. BBC Sport reports Clarke’s view that such pitch entries reflect poorly on the game, even when they are linked to celebrations. Sky Sports also highlights Clarke’s decision to publicly recognise the Tartan Army, presenting them as an example of acceptable conduct. Across both outlets, Clarke’s message is that fans should support their teams without creating unsafe or disruptive situations, and he credits the Tartan Army for doing so when Scotland matches are involved.
