Steve Clarke: Scotland still have work to do despite Euro qualification

Steve Clarke is focused on finishing Scotland's Euro 2024 qualification campaign on a high after sealing their place in Germany amid a hat-trick of defeats.
A 2-0 loss in Spain was sandwiched by friendly defeats against England and France, but five wins from their opening five games in Group A proved enough for a second successive qualification for the European Championship finals after the Spaniards won in Norway.
With a five-month international hiatus to follow, Clarke is eager to ensure Scotland come away from their final competitive matches with points against Georgia and Norway before next summer's tournament in Germany.
Speaking ahead of Thursday's clash in Tbilisi, the Scotland manager said: «The idea with the friendly matches against England and France was to test ourselves against the best and see where we measure up.
»Obviously with the results we had, we still have a bit of work to do. We will try to stay humble, respect our opponents and just try to improve all the time.
«Listen, we want to get back to winning ways. It's not very often in the reign that I have had, apart from the early stages, that we have had consecutive defeats like we have had recently.
»It would be nice to think in the remaining two games we can pick up more points.
