Recent reports indicate that Scotland’s national football team manager, Steve Clarke, has made selection decisions that have sparked discussions among fans and the media. Notably, the omission of Celtic left-back Greg Taylor from the squad for the Euro 2024 qualifiers against Cyprus and Spain raised eyebrows. Clarke addressed this by mentioning “one or two little issues” behind Taylor’s exclusion, emphasizing that it was a matter internal to Celtic and not for him to elaborate on.
Additionally, there have been instances where Celtic players, such as Greg Taylor and James Forrest, left the Scotland camp, with Clarke providing explanations for these departures.
It’s also worth noting that in the past, Clarke has been vocal about sectarian abuse in Scottish football. During his tenure at Kilmarnock, he expressed frustration over such incidents, describing them as remnants of the “dark ages.”
These developments have fueled discussions on social media, with fans and pundits debating the implications of Clarke’s selection choices and their impact on team dynamics.
