Problems are mounting for Scotland manager Steve Clarke ahead of the Euro 2024 finals. But could an uncapped kid provide a potential solution?
Cup finals can very often be as much of an emotional rollercoaster for managers and supporters as the actual tournament itself.can lead to sleepless nights and cause nails to be bitten to the quick. On occasion, a will-he-make-it-won’t-he-make-it saga can become nothing short of a national obsession.
Tony Blair, the then Prime Minister, allegedly interrupted a cabinet meeting to tell his government colleagues that “nothing is more important” than the fitness of the talisman whose late free-kick against Greece the previous year had secured qualification.There will not be the same sort of absurd hysteria about Aaron Hickey as Euro 2024 in Germany edges ever closer.
Ralston is a fine footballer who has excelled when he has donned a dark blue jersey in the past. He made his international debut in a 2-0 win over Denmark at Hampden in 2021. He followed that up by scoring on his first start against Armenia in a Nations League game in Glasgow the following year. There is every chance that Clarke will select the former Hearts and Bologna man, who is back doing light training, in his squad if he is given the go-ahead to do so by his employers even if the defender has not made his comeback.
Clarke admitted that one lesson he learned three years ago was the need to freshen up his starting line-up. His charges looked spent in their final group game against Croatia and slumped to a 3-1 loss which sent them tumbling out. He will not make the same mistake in Germany.
