The 5-1 mauling has left Scotland with a mountain to climb to reach the knockout stage of Euro 2024.
Scotland boss Steve Clarke says he has ‘kicked some backsides’ and given out some ‘cuddles’ in a bid to make the country fall back in love with his national side.
“I am always confident in my players and I am confident in myself. We let people down, we obviously let the country down, but we let ourselves down. That is what hurts the most. It is what hurts me the most, that we let ourselves down. “We can use everything as a motivation. The biggest motivation for me is when we came to this tournament we felt we were a good team. We haven’t shown that in the first game so let’s show it in the second game.
“So we can work on that. We did this morning and will for the next two days going into the game on Wednesday night. Hopefully we will see a different performance.
