Manager denies claim that Scotland are all but through to finalsScotland play Cyprus on Friday seeking fifth Group A victory
No sooner had the Cyprus manager Temuri Ketsbaia declared Scotland have already qualified for next summer’s European Championship than Steve Clarke comprehensively dismissed the notion. “Football can bite you on the bum,” said the Scotland manager.
Victory for Clarke’s men over Cyprus on Friday would make it five wins from as many matches in Group A. In that circumstance, Scotland could seal a finals berth as early as Tuesday if other results go their way. Ketsbaia insisted the Scots are already bound for Germany. “I believe they have already qualified,” said the former Newcastle United midfielder. “I am not surprised they are at the top of the group. I am sure they will finish first or second.”
