Here are the talking points from Hampden…Did Clarke learn anything from another friendly flop? It was two years ago to the day, after Scotland had been beaten at Hampden by Northern Ireland, that Steve Clarke lamented that ‘we are s**** at friendlies’. That may have made the game a little more interesting than it ultimately was. Midfield concerns without Billy GilmourHe may not be the biggest star in the Scotland team, but when Billy Gilmour isn’t in the line-up, his absence is noticeable.

Barring injury, it is Kane, it is Declan Rice, it is Elliot Anderson, it is Bukayo Saka, it is Marc Guehi. With one friendly to go until the World Cup squad announcement, nobody is quite sure.

Tuchel knows that is there somewhere, somewhere deep inside, and is giving him every chance to locate it.

Volunteers at a 17th-century country house have adjusted historic timepieces ahead of the clocks going forward tonight. The Grade I-listed mansion Kingston Lacy, located near Wimborne Minster, Dorset, has an extensive inventory of antique timepieces, including the impressive 'eight day' Tavern clock. The clocks annually go forward by an hour at 1am GMT on the last Sunday of March, switching from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) to British Summer Time (BST). The clocks therefore went forward two hours in the summer while the winter clocks kept to an hour ahead of GMT - which remained between 1939 and 1945. Former prime minister Harold Wilson then trialled British Standard Time between 1968 and 1971, as clocks went forward but not back.
