Scotland: Kenny McLean says side ‘desperate’ to end poor run
“We want to be pitting ourselves against the best, that’s what we’re doing. But the next step is to start getting these results and we’re desperate for them.”
McLean has been a mainstay of Scotland squads under Clarke, earning 44 caps, mainly as a replacement.
The 32-year-old did start both matches in September’s international window and feels he is in a strong position to keep pushing for a place in the side.
“I’ve always worked as hard as I can back at club level to be part of it and that’s all every player can do really,” he added. “I’ll keep doing as much as I can and I’ll always be as available as I can for the manager and then the decision is his.
“I don’t want to here just because I’ve been here in the past. I want to continue to do as well as I can for Norwich and then hopefully it keeps me and the manager’s plans for as long as possible.”

Former Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp announced his return to the game on Wednesday, taking a role as global head of soccer at Red Bull.
“I’m fortunate that there are lots of different opportunities that are presenting themselves. The business side of football is really interesting,” said Southgate.
“I’ve been invited to speak at Harvard and there’s lots of exciting life experiences to have.
“I’m 54 and want to enjoy and be really motivated for the next 10 to 15 years of my life and the most important thing is to give myself time to make good decisions.”
Southgate says he will not coach another international team and will be careful before returning to the club environment. He previously managed Middlesbrough from 2006 to 2009.
“Clubs can only be successful if everything is aligned, right the way through the club,” he said.
“I also know that maybe the smarter people sit in the boardrooms and the coaches are a little bit more dispensable than you think when you are there.
“As a coach you think you’re the most important person. I sat in every boardroom in our country for eight years and realised you’re only a small piece in this whole thing.”
England face Greece in the Nations League at Wembley on Thursday evening.
Lee Carsley, who replaced Southgate as interim manager, has won both of his two fixtures in charge of the Three Lions.
But, after some promise in their Premier Sports Cup group stage in which they won away to Championship hosts Thistle and became bookmakers’ favourites for the league title, they have gone eight games without a victory.
McCall told Clyde’s website: “I take great pride in having contributed to the club’s success in maintaining its league status last season, particularly from such a challenging position.”
Clyde said they “would like to place on record our huge thanks for his efforts in keeping the club in League 2 last season” as Scally and Kerr “assume responsibility of the team on a caretaker basis while we follow due process to appoint a new manager”.
Saturday’s 1-1 draw at home to The Spartans was Clyde’s fourth draw in a row after four consecutive defeats and they sit second bottom, two points above Edinburgh City.
The former Glasgow-based club also currently share Hamilton Academical’s New Douglas Park as they seek a new home ground after leaving Broadwood Stadium in Cumbernauld two years ago.
Wayne Rooney has been nominated for the Championship manager of the month award for the first time since becoming Plymouth Argyle boss.
The former England captain – who took over at Argyle in May – has been recognised for his work in September alongside John Eustace of Blackburn Rovers, Sheffield United’s Chris Wilder and Burnley manager Scott Parker.
Rooney led an upturn in form at Home Park last month that saw Argyle beat Championship leaders Sunderland 3-2 before a narrow 1-0 loss to West Bromwich Albion.
The club ended the month with a 3-1 home win over relegated Premier League side Luton Town.
The results saw Argyle climb from the relegation places to 13th in the Championship with Rooney claiming his first league wins as boss.
The former Everton and Manchester United striker also led Argyle to victory over Blackburn Rovers last week, but faces FA charges after he was sent off.
Rooney was unhappy with a decision that led to Rovers’ equaliser and is accused of three counts of improper conduct.

Ranger’s promising career was almost over before it had even started.
He signed for Crystal Palace at the age of 10 but was released two years later for bad behaviour at school.
Aged 15, he was sentenced to 11 weeks in a young offenders’ institute for his part in an armed robbery in north London.
“We weren’t going around shooting or stabbing people,” he says. “We wanted to get some quick money so we said ‘let’s just take phones off people’.
“One of our entourage had a knife but I don’t know why because he wasn’t using it. We were acting like idiots.”
There is regret for the hurt he caused.
“Armed robbery is terrible. I wasn’t wanting to hurt them,” adds Ranger. “I was just thinking about getting the goods and running off.
“Now I’m older I do think I must have caused people trauma. At times I was a lunatic. I don’t know what else to call it.”
Ranger was a highly-promising £110-a-week player at Southampton’s academy when he was sentenced but the club supported him following his release and moved him into a flat with his mum, Karen, so she could keep an eye on him.
“My mum has had to come to meetings at every club I have been at to discuss my behaviour,” he says. “It’s been like that since my schooldays.”
Ranger was eventually kicked out of Southampton when he stole boots, training kit and even a staff member’s box of chocolates.
Where was his dad when all this was happening?
“He was around but I lived with my mum. Dad was in my life but what is he going to do? Punch me in the face? He could only speak to me.
“I’m my own man and he used to try to talk sense into me but I just didn’t listen.”
Ranger joined Swindon Town on trial before Newcastle came calling with a two-year contract and a £20,000 signing-on fee.
The 17-year-old headed to the north east hoping to put his troubled past behind him and make a name for himself playing alongside the likes of Fabricio Coloccini, Andy Carroll and Alan Smith.
“I went from nothing to something,” he says.
