CLARKE: WE NEED TIME TO IMPROVE

STEVE CLARKE spoke of "evolution not revolution" ahead of Scotland's Nations League opener tonight.

The Scotland squad got together for the first time since the dismal performance in the summer's Euros, where they failed to get out of their group in Germany with only one point from three games.

The absence of long-term injured players, such as Kieran Tierney, Nathan Patterson and Aaron Hickey, was compounded when goalkeeper Robby McCrorie, striker Che Adams and Celtic pair James Forrest and Greg Taylor all left the original squad for tonight's game against the Poles and the trip to Portugal on Sunday.
