Scotland head coach Steve Clarke steps down, and former player Kris Boyd criticises the backlash against him. Boyd says criticism of Clarke is an “absolute disgrace,” according to Sky Sports coverage. Other outlets included in the same reporting round also refer to debate among Scotland supporters about Clarke’s final performances. talkSPORT describes Clarke’s position as “untenable,” saying he loses the trust of parts of the “Tartan Army” after Scotland’s display against Haiti, which it characterises as “diabolical.” The Scottish Football Association announces Clarke’s departure, with further discussion also turning to the process for selecting a new manager. BBC reporting referenced in the aggregated headlines discusses Clarke’s legacy and the wider question of who could replace him, alongside lists of potential candidates and their odds. The coverage broadly reflects both Boyd’s defence of Clarke and criticism from some supporters about his tenure, while the central development remains Clarke’s resignation as Scotland men’s head coach.
