The frustration wasn't so much directed at Clarke and his players, it was an age-old weariness that has been building up over time. The Kilmarnock forward scored five goals from open play last season and suddenly he's a Scotland player? Well, Clarke was missing four strikers in Steven Naismith, Steven Fletcher, Leigh Griffiths and Oli McBurnie. Swansea's McBurnie has never looked convincing for Scotland, but he scored 24 goals for the Championship side last season, 21 of them from open play. Clarke could do with having Robert Snodgrass as an option out there, if the West Ham United man's heart is still in it.
