Scotland are not going to the Euros as 'tourists', says Steve Clarke as the manager discusses his move into coaching, the hurt of missing the World Cup and losing his father to dementia.
"My dad had a good life," says Steve Clarke of his father Eddie, who passed away earlier this year, a victim of dementia. "He had a long life, gave us a good upbringing. Him and my mum brought up eight children. There's a bit of him in me and I'd like to think there's a bit of mum as well."
"That last summer , Luca said to me, 'Come on, Clarkie, we go to Bermuda'," he explains. "We played some golf and he said, 'Clarkie, you're going to be a coach." "I think the heart's always going, but the deadpan is always there as well," he says. "It's just the way that I conduct myself. For matches, I've always tried to be the same. I always try to exude calmness, but I'm maybe not always calm inside.
Clarke knows it's going to be different in Germany. "It just feels more like… I'm probably wrong to say this but I'm going to say it anyway… It feels more like a proper tournament, because you're going to one country, there's going to be full houses and we're involved in the glamour game, the opening one of the tournament. I'm excited."
"There's still a little bit inside me that hurts from that. I think we deserved to go to the World Cup, but if you don't turn up in the play-off games, that's what can happen."
