Depends what Clarke was trying to learn, surely? I would have thought his mind is firmly fixed on the fact that we’ll be up against the likes of them in Germany, so better to get some experience now. Better to lose now than then.
To test ourselves against the best teams. Which hasn't worked out; the last three games have been against France, Spain and England, and we've lost the lot.

Seven changes from his preferred starting eleven ? I reckon the experience is good. We are short up front. But we know that. Gilmour's first ever senior goal. Good point. Ferguson doing his "Italian" thing , and not getting booked. Good point. G.Taylor looked ok. Good point etc etc .
It's better to be bottom of a class of geniuses , than top of a class of fools.
You play the better sides , you should be able to drag your own standards up quicker. IF you learn from it..
.Oh , and two of these games were "only" friendlies. In the competitive one we wuz robbed !!!!
Just take it as confidence from the manager.
It's not that long ago that advice to a new Scotland manager would be to only play easy friendlies because the defeats all added to your record when they came to sack you.
Hibs currently making an a'rse of it against the newest team in the league. Their new manager is determined for them to play out from the back regardless. That always ends well in our league......
Imagine not being able to win at Ibrox.
Sellick shaming Scottish football once again by failing to beat 10-man Atletico Madrid at home.
Smelly draw at Easter road.
