How did Scotland defeat look from Clarke’s vantage point?Media caption, Highlights: Ivory Coast 1-0 ScotlandByAmy CanavanBBC Sport Scotland at Hill Dickinson StadiumPublished44 minutes agoThere are not many bad views in the impressive Hill Dickinson Stadium. But one a few yards away from Steve Clarke is among the best.The Scotland head coach spent a lot of Tuesday’s friendly against Ivory Coast looking around this place searching for answers.Instead, every time he turned his back on the action, Scottish managerial greats, David Moyes, Sir Kenny Dalglish and Sir Alex Ferguson were watching down from a lofty position in this amphitheatre.It’s just a shame Scotland couldn’t put on a show worthy of the splendid setting.Though officially the away team, Scotland were always going to feel like home in Liverpool. And, in an odd quirk, they set up in the home dressing room. No one is quite sure why.Maybe Clarke’s lot just claimed it first. Or maybe they got lost. After all, plenty of those who are preparing to see Scotland at a first men’s World Cup in their lifetime will live in smaller flats, such is its size.Vast corridors run here, there and everywhere in this stadium, although none led to a Scotland victory.Are Scotland really going to name 55 players in World Cup squad?
