Steve Clarke appointed Scotland boss after leading Kilmarnock to Europa League

Steve Clarke has been announced as Scotland boss this afternoon.

The former Kilmarnock boss led the Ayrshire side to their first third-place finish since 1966, which was a year after they won the league.

He heads to Hampden after an emotional final day at Rugby Park, signing off in the perfect way with a 2-1 win over Rangers.

After the game he addressed Killie fans, saying: "The most important thing in any football club anywhere in the world is the supporters, when I came here we didn't have so many.

"We had a disconnect between the board, the support, the players. No togetherness.

"I said when I came in, together we are stronger and in my time at Kilmarnock Football Club, I'm sorry I didn't win you a trophy.

"But I'm telling you now as I stand here in front of three stands with Kilmarnock supporters, bye bye Rangers, and next season make sure it's bye bye Celtic as well because this is Kilmarnock.

"The most important thing is I said no trophy. For me, this is my trophy."
