Our man was in Seville for a night of Scotland gut punches as controversy arose on a night of the what could have been.
If this is what it feels like to suffer a Senor moment then the future for Scotland might not be as much fun as we had been expecting
And so, when a place at Euro 2024 seemed so close, Scotland were then undone by two late goals to compound this wretchedness. After a gargantuan effort in sweltering heat, they deserved so much more than this. Clarke and his players, meanwhile, took a look around the place from pitch level while taking on as much liquid as they could swallow. The manager also loaded them up with information while making some unexpected tweaks to his starting XI.
But Clarke’s game plan was based not just upon stubborn resistance – it required a threat to be carried at the other end. And soon after Dykes did exactly that, hurling an exocet of a throw-in into the box, creating panic, and then thundering down the right to flash in a cross which Spain only just about scrambled clear.
Slowly, almost heroically, Clarke’s plan was coming together and his players were actually establishing a foothold. As ridiculous as it may sound, under such strain, they started to look as if they were enjoying it.
