Clarke on evaluating past year, dealing with critics & Doohan
Head coach Steve Clarke has been speaking to BBC Sport before Scotland travel to face Lichtenstein on Monday.Here are the key lines:On reacting to Friday's woeful defeat to Iceland, Clarke says: "You have to recover, football's never smooth. We're fortunate we have a game to put things right."Clarke says young goalkeeper Cieran Slicker is "obviously disappointed" with his disastrous debut, but the Scotland boss says it is "better not to concentrate too much on what" the 22-year-old did.On incoming keeper Ross Doohan, Clarke adds: "It's nice we've got Ross in. He's had good experiences at different clubs. Hopefully he comes in and does really well."On the past year, Clarke says people "shouldn't lose sight" of the fact Scotland were going to a major tournament 12 months ago.On the Nations League campaign, which ended in League A relegation, he adds: "The Nations League campaign was good. Even the games we lost, the team was good. You could see we were building."On how he deals with disappointment, Clarke says he is "measured in his approach to football and life" and criticism "doesn't bother" him too much.

Live Portugal vs Spain live: Lineups and latest updates from Nations League final
6:45PM Nations League trophy up for grabs We are in Munich for the Nations League final and it is a battle of the Iberian Peninsula as Portugal take on Spain for the trophy. These sides have both lifted this trophy (Portugal in 2019 and Spain 2023) and whichever side comes out on top today will become the first side to win this tournament twice. Portugal earned their place in the final with a come-from-behind win over Germany last Wednesday. Florian Wirtz had given Germany the lead in Munich on Wedneday but goals from Francisco Conceicao and Cristiano Ronaldo turned the game around for Portugal as they ran out 2-1 winners. That winner from Ronaldo was his 137 th goal in 220 international caps and took him to 937 career goals. Spain meanwhile, who are the defending Nations League champions, were involved in an absolute thriller in Stuttgart on Thursday night. They beat France 5-4 in the semi-finals, having been 4-0 and 5-1 up. Today is the first time that 17-year-old Lamine Yamal, who is in contention for this year's Ballon d'Or, comes up against the five-time winner of that award Cristiano Ronaldo. 40-year-old Ronaldo is coming towards the end of his career but Yamal is very much at the start. But despite being just 17-years-old, he has already won the European Championship for Spain and two La Liga titles with Barcelona. Speaking ahead of tonight's final, Ronaldo was full of praise for the young Spaniard. 'This kid has been doing things really well at a club and national team that help him very much. It is a great atmosphere for him to show his quality. Let him grow, do not put him under pressure so we can enjoy a talent like this for many years. I would like to take pressure off him and leave him alone. He has got plenty of talent.' Yamal repaid the favour to the 40-year-old. 'He is a football legend. I, like all the players, have huge respect for Cristiano. This is the kind of game I want to play, to prove who I am.' Spain are unbeaten in their last ten Nations League matches outside of Spain, winning six and drawing four. Spain have definitely had the better of the head-to-heads; they have won 19 of the 42 meetings, with Portugal winning just six meetings. These sides last met in September 2022, when Spain won 1-0 in Portugal in the Nations League courtesy of Alvaro Morata's late winner. In the third/fourth play-off earlier today, France beat Germany 2-0 in Stuttgart. Kick-off from Munich is at 8pm.

Russell Martin ready to raid former club Southampton as Rangers manager makes £10m-rated midfielder top transfer target
PLAYMAKER Flynn Downes is top of Russell Martin's wishlist at Rangers — but he will get no favours from his old club Southampton. Martin took Downes, 26, to the Prem with the Saints from West Ham and previously had him at Swansea. 3 3 Downes could fancy the Scottish Prem over the Championship but the fee will be over £10million — which would be a big chunk of Martin's budget. He will be busy in the transfer market after being handed £20m to overhaul the squad and may raid England a few times. Left-back Harry Toffolo is set to quit Nottingham Forest and is interested in a switch to Ibrox after playing only a handful of games late last season. Martin will inherit Jefte and Ridvan Yilmaz as left-backs, but the Turk has been heavily linked with a return home. Veteran Leicester City defender Conor Coady is also on Gers' radar. Meanwhile, Martin insists he has no plans to strip James Tavernier of the Rangers captaincy. He said: 'He's been the captain for a very long time. If he's playing, I don't see any reason to change that. And if he's not playing, it will force someone else. 'First and foremost, I want to speak to him to explain to me and have a discussion about the last two years, his thoughts on the team. 'To play here as long as he has, to be captain as long as he has, takes a lot of energy. It's not easy. 'It will be down to him in the way he performs and the way he buys into it, which I'm pretty sure he will.' Rangers fans react to news Russell Martin is their new manager 3

Moment Chelsea FC star Marc Cucurella is caught 'using his phone behind the wheel' of his £140k Mercedes G-Wagon
This is the moment Chelsea's Marc Cucurella was apparently caught using his mobile phone while behind the wheel of his £140,000 Mercedes G-Wagon. The 26-year-old Spaniard was said to have been driving the wagon near Dorking in Surrey, when he was caught appearing to be sending a text message. The footage was taken by a British couple as they drove past the left-back at around 6pm on Tuesday, May 20. Eight days later Cucurella was in Chelsea's starting line-up in Wroclaw, Poland, as Enzo Maresca 's men beat Real Betis 4-1 in the Uefa Conference League final. The couple claimed they had noticed the car before realising the driver appeared to be using his phone on closer inspection. One said: 'We looked over to see who it was and I clocked that it was Chelsea's left back Marc Cucurella. 'We drove past him again and I doubled checked to make sure it was him... he was on his phone. 'My partner in the passenger seat was able to get a video and photos.' Cucurella has been a near permanent starter for Chelsea this season in the Premier League, after being part of the squad that beat England in the final of the Euros with Spain in July 2024. The passenger added: 'It was really dangerous and very irresponsible of him, first to be doing it at all.' Drivers caught using a mobile phone behind the wheel in the United Kingdom face being hit with a £200 fine and six points on their driving licence. Cucurella moved to west London from Brighton in a £60million deal in 2022. The Spain international struggled for consistency on the pitch, and later revealed that a number of circumstances away from the game also contributed to his dip in form, including the burglary of his family home. However, as Cucurella settled at Stamford Bridge, the defender became an increasingly vital presence in the set-ups of head coaches Mauricio Pochettino and Maresca. Cucurella also starred for Spain at last summer's European Championship, helping La Roja take him the trophy for the fourth time in the nation's history. He features alongside his wife Claudia Rodriguez in the second season of Amazon's Married To The Game. Cucurella and Rodriguez allowed cameras to follow their daily lives, with the impact of their son Mateo's autism on the family one of the emotional flashpoints of the programme. The reality series also sees Rodriguez open up on the impact of a burglary which the family suffered shortly after the move to the west London club. Cucurella and his family lost £62,000-worth of property in the break-in, including Louis Vuitton bags.
