Former Reading manager Steve Clarke has taken Scotland into Group A of the Nations League after a hard-fought 0-0 draw with Ukraine.

The Chelsea legend took over the Royals in 2014 and took them to an FA Cup semi-final in 2015.

Starting 2015/16 in fine form, controversy struck as it was reported that the 59-year-old had discussed the potential of moving to Fulham.

Staying put in Berkshire, form dipped significantly around that time and he was relieved of his duties in December 2015.

Since, he guided Kilmarnock into Europe and took charge of the Scottish national team in 2019.

Under his guidance, the Tartan Army have gone from strength to strength- qualifying for Euro 2020 and now leap-frogging England in the Nations League, with Gareth Southgate's Three Lions relegated to League B.

This could give the Scots two chances to qualify for Euro 2024, which is being held in Germany.

13 points from six matches was enough to finish above Ukraine, Republic of Ireland and Armenia.
