Tartan Army's World Cup dream over as fans react to Steve Clarke resignation

Scotland’s World Cup dream ended after the team was eliminated on Saturday night, finishing third in Group C behind Brazil and Morocco. The “Tartan Army” supporters who remained in Miami were left heartbroken as the elimination came just before manager Steve Clarke resigned, a move that immediately triggered fan reaction. Scotland claimed three points in their opening match against Haiti, but they failed to qualify for the last 32 because of Croatia’s 2-1 win over Ghana, leaving them outside the top eight among third-placed teams. Clarke had signed a new four-year deal shortly before the tournament that would have kept him through the 2030 World Cup and the 2028 European Championships. At age 62, he issued a farewell statement to players, staff, and fans. Coverage includes supporters describing the Brazil loss’s manner and calling for fresh ideas.
