Boss Steve Clarke is confident the Scotland squad’s Covid-19 safety will not be compromised by allowing players home to see their families this week. Having flown back to the UK from Luxembourg on Sunday night the 26 players returned home to spend time with loved ones before Euro 2020 begins. Players will report back for duty on Wednesday at 7pm at the squad’s Euro 2020 base at the five start Rockliffe Hotel near Darlington. “We had six out of the Netherlands game last week so they know how close Covid still is. Last October Aberdeen-raised Southampton midfielder Stuart Armstrong was ruled out of the Euro 2020 play-off semi-final with Israel after returning a positive test.
