Is Gunn answer to Scotland's goalkeeping question?
International friendly: Scotland v IcelandWhen: Friday, 6 June Where: Hampden Park Kick-off: 19:45 BSTCoverage: Watch live on BBC One Scotland and BBC Sport website & app, online text updates, listen on BBC Radio Scotland The guy who was most recently Scotland's first-choice goalkeeper is 42 and currently out injured. His likely replacement doesn't have a club. The next two in line - depending on your view of the pecking order - have been in and out of the Kilmarnock team this season and made just a handful of senior appearances other contenders for the position are either out of form or out of led head coach Steve Clarke to recently suggest that Scotland's lack of options in goal has been an Gunn will likely be the preferred choice for the impending friendlies against Iceland and Liechtenstein. But is he the answer longer-term? And if not, who is? What did Clarke say about it? The Scotland head coach admitted concern at the dearth of goalkeepers coming through when announcing the squad for these matches, adding that it had been "probably an oversight" given the quality of options over the past two pointed to the likes of the injured Craig Gordon, and the retired David Marshall and Allan McGregor as the kind of talent that currently just isn't answer, in his view, lies in giving young goalkeepers the opportunity to play competitively, earlier."A lot tend to be kept in squads to sit on the bench," Clarke said. "They are working with good people and learning good habits but only in training."Maybe we can find a way to get these young goalkeepers out to clubs in League 1, League 2, the Championship at an earlier age where they play and do well."The boys need a chance and, when they get a chance, they need to take it." Gunn encouraged by younger deputies Gunn returns to the squad for these friendlies and seems likely to start despite currently being a free agent after leaving Norwich 15 caps, he was first choice at Euro 2024 before injury struck, allowing Gordon to reclaim his spot. Now it's his chance to turn the duo Robby McCrorie and Cieran Slicker provide back-up, with the latter having played just 10 minutes as a substitute for Ipswich Town all made 20 Premiership starts for Kilmarnock, while the majority of Scottish top-flight goalkeepers come from other recent squad members such as Rangers Liam Kelly and Zander Clark at Hearts are also lacking game time."I wouldn't say there has been an issue," Gunn said on Tuesday. "I think the nation's been blessed with top goalkeepers for many years. Things happen in cycles. "The three guys here training with us this week all look top-quality young keepers but it's about experience and game time in big games."I was quite inexperienced when I came into the squad. Playing at the Euros was a big learning curve for me and a big opportunity. "Only things like that can help and benefit goalkeepers and without experience you're not going to get any better." What other options are out there? While it often proves futile to speculate on the next big thing, Clarke clearly thinks hope lies with Callan McKenna, who has joined the squad this week in 18-year-old was number one for Queen's Park in the Scottish Championship at the start of season 2023-24, before moving to join English Premier League side Bournemouth, where he is part of their development fact that Clarke has brought him into the fold supports the idea that experience of the international environment is key but not just in training over the longer and Slicker will undoubtedly do everything in their power to stake their claims over the coming days, but Clarke's openness on this subject suggests he believes he needs more options said, with World Cup qualification next on the agenda after this friendly double-header, Clarke will surely look to rely on experience in such a key position for the opening fixtures away to Denmark and Belarus.

Sam Thompson battles on in torrential rain as injured and emotional star is joined by Chris Hughes on day two of gruelling 260-mile endurance challenge
Sam Thompson looked visibly emotional as he was met with horrendous weather conditions on day two of his gruelling Soccer Aid Challenge. The beloved TV and radio star, 34, was joined by former Love Island star and good pal Chris Hughes, 32, for support on Tuesday. Sam has been given the task to travel a mammoth 260-mile journey on both bike and foot to deliver the match ball to its new home in Old Trafford, with the hope of raising much-needed funds for Unicef. To complete the challenge, the I'm A Celeb star is expected to run a marathon for five days and cycle in between, ensuring the ball arrives on June 6, just in time for kickoff on Sunday, June 15. And in new images, Sam, who is suffering from a calf injury, looked downcast as he was soaked head-to-toe by the heavy rain. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The star decided to cycle the remaining miles of his Tuesday challenge after revealing he 'popped his calf' and was strapped into a medical table just the day before. Sam was seen red-faced from the wet weather and appeared to sigh as he wiped away the water from his face. In an attempt to boost morale, Chris joined his pal on the bike as Sam continued on with his challenge. Later on, the pair beamed for a snap together inside a building as Sam rested on a massage bed with some lunch. Following their meeting, Chris went to his Instagram stories to share clips of their cycle together. Gushing over his pal, he penned: 'Keep donating towards Sam's challenge, it's seriously inspiring and he needs every boost he can get. I saw the emotion drain from him earlier, he battles on and is doing so well.' Earlier in the day, Chris smirked when he was grilled about his relationship with JoJo Siwa, 22, live on This Morning. The former Love Island star appeared on the daily ITV show from Towcester where he was covering Sam's Soccer Aid challenge. During the segment, host Ben Shephard asked Chris a cheeky question about him and JoJo. 'Can we just say, because obviously we're all talking about it. Congratulations on the relationship, we're all very excited, have we decided whether it's Hughes-wa... what's the power couple name?' Ben asked. Co-host Cat eagerly added: 'What is it going to be?' 'They call it Co-Jo, that's the one they're all going for,' Chris replied. The two presenters gushed that they liked the name and Chris commented it 'rolls off the tongue'. JoJo and Chris have sparked frenzied speculation about their relationship status over the past few weeks since they met in the Celebrity Big Brother house back in April. Their relationship has grown from platonic to romantic and the Dance Moms star confirmed that she and Chris have made their relationship official, and she's started calling him her boyfriend in an interview with Capital Radio. On Sunday, Chris sent fans into a frenzy when he shared a steam bedroom snap with JoJo on Snapchat. Sharing the sweet image of himself and JoJo cuddled in bed together, he captioned the image: 'Sleeping beauty.' While in an interview with The Guardian, JoJo gushed about her blossoming romance with Chris, when asked whether things between them were still platonic. She said: 'It's not platonic anymore, and it's been a beautiful development, a beautiful connection, and I'm absolutely head over heels for him and he's the same way.' The Dance Moms star also hit back at speculation that their relationship is a 'PR stunt,' saying: 'Clearly, you've never been around us. I won't ever speak for him, but for me personally, the happiness in my life just radiates off of me right now. 'Literally yesterday, I was massaging my cheeks; I've never [before] been in pain from smiling so much.' JoJo also appeared on Sunday's edition on Sunday Brunch, and fought back tears as she emotionally shared how Chris has been embraced by her family since he first flew to the US to surprise her for her 22nd birthday last month. She said: 'She loves him, she does love him. My parents think the absolute world of him, and him and my Dad are like best friends, Chris was actually telling me this yesterday, they went to the spa together yesterday. 'They're literally best friends, Mom Siwa she absolutely adores him. I love watching her watch us, because I've never seen my mom so happy, and it's... it's... I could cry. 'Honestly, it makes me happy to have everybody act as... it feels like we're a family, it feels like he's been in my family for how ever many years it feels like forever.
