'Is that a serious question?' - Heated Steve Clarke involved in tense exchange with journalist after watching his Scotland side suffer humiliating defeat to Germany

UEFA Nations League A

Scotland

Clarke was facing the media following Scotland's<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/scotland-player-ratings-germany-ryan-porteous-anthony-ralston-angus-gunn/blt30fc67e853c365db" target="_blank"> humiliating 5-1 defeat to Germany </a>in the Euro 2024 opener and was asked about an incident in the match that saw him arguing with set-piece coach Austin McPhee after the Tartan Army conceded following a poor free-kick. But the head coach was perplexed when asked about the exchange after the match.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Speaking in his press conference after the match, Clarke said: "Is that a serious question? We are fine.&nbsp;I can’t even remember it.&nbsp;It’s emotional on the touchline. I&nbsp;believe the players will get over this quickly. I have never doubted my players and I never will."

WHAT CLARKE SAID

It was more than just an issue with set pieces for Scotland, who were outclassed in every department by Germany. After conceding early, the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/roy-keane-slams-andy-robertson-post-match-interview-scotland-defeat-germany/blt66377f01516aa860" target="_blank">Tartan Army will be disappointed with their response</a> and will have to regroup if they are to retain any hope of still progressing from Group A.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Scotland will have to put the opening night loss behind them and regroup for their second game in a few days. They face Switzerland on 19 June in what is now a must-win game for Clarke and his players. They will end their group stage campaign against Hungary a few days later.
