Just over six years on from his appointment as manager of the Scotland national team, head coach Steve Clarke will officially become the nation’s longest-serving manager against Belarus this weekend.
Aiming to become the first manager to take Scotland to three major tournaments, Clarke will take charge of his 72nd game when Belarus comes to Glasgow on Sunday, overtaking Craig Brown, who was previously Scotland's longest-serving boss.
His first game in charge, best remembered for a last minute winner from Oli Burke, came on Saturday 8 June 2019, as Scotland downed Cyprus 2-1 at Hampden Park in a European Championship qualifier, which they won 2-1 thanks to strikes from Andy Robertson and the aforementioned Burke.
But where are the starting XI from Clarke’s first Scotland game now? Here’s what happened to every player who featured in the 62-year-old’s first game in charge of the national team:
9. RW: Ryan Fraser
The diminutive winger hasn't played for Scotland for over three years, but was quite a prominent member of Clarke's squad in the opening throes of his reign. The 31-year-old currently plays for Southampton, who he joined permanently last summer following a stint with Newcastle United. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
10. LW: James Forrest
Was named in the squad for Euro 2020, but didn't play a minute. The pacey winger bizarrely scored all five of his international goals in one month (November 2018) prior to Clarke's appointment, famously scoring a hat-trick against Israel in the Nations League. Still with Celtic, he is officially the club's most decorated player, having won 26 major honours with the club | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
11. CF: Eamonn Brophy
Winning his one and only cap, the then-Kilmarnock man was Scotland's central striker in Clarke's first game in charge of the nation. Still just 29, Brophy currently plays for Greenock Morton in the Scottish Championship, following spells with St Mirren, Ross County, and Falkirk. | SNS Group
12. Sub: Oli Burke
Scorer of Scotland's winning goal on the night, Burke is currently plying his trade at Union Berlin in the German Bundesliga after a fairly nomadic career. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
