Scotland manager Steve Clarke stepped down on Saturday following his side's elimination from the World Cup in the group stage, despite signing a four-year contract last month.

The Scottish Football Association announced that "our most successful National Team Head Coach has called time on his seven years in charge".

Scotland's exit was confirmed after Croatia beat the already-qualified Ghana in Group L on Saturday, meaning Clarke's side could no longer finish among the eight best third-placed sides in North America.
