Scotland manager Steve Clarke has outlined his rebuild plans after the 0-3 World Cup defeat to Brazil, according to a former international. The Tartan Army suffered three consecutive losses before ending their campaign with back-to-back wins.

What did Clarke say?

The ex-player, who chose to remain anonymous, revealed Clarke's focus on long-term development. 'He knows we're not where we want to be yet,' the source said. 'But he's confident in the young talent coming through.'

Why it matters for Scotland

With recent form showing two wins and three losses in their last five matches, Clarke faces pressure to improve results. The next challenge comes against Slovenia on 26 September in an away fixture.

What comes next?

Scotland will look to bounce back from their World Cup exit. The team's performance against Slovenia will be crucial in determining their progress under Clarke's leadership.
