Scotland currently top Group B1 after an opening success over Armenia and can make it six points from six by sinking Stephen Kenny’s men.With the dreams of reaching the World Cup in Qatar over, the 2024 Euros in Germany is the next big target for the troops.Clarke’s men famously qualified for the tournament's previous staging after earning a play-off spot by winning their Nations League section under Alex McLeish.Armstrong says the importance of the competition is not lost on the squad with their ultimate aim to return to a showpiece after tasting the big time last year.
Ahead of the section's first away game, he said: “Every fixture that we go into, we want to maximise what we can out of it and show that we can reach major tournaments.“It’s obviously the ultimate ambition and this is a pathway to that.
We want to have a good start, which we have had, and continue on.“I think there is a big belief in the squad, there is a lot of togetherness, the group is excellent.“Everyone believes in ourselves and what we can achieve, hopefully, reach another major tournament.” Clarke could shuffle his pack again for the game against the Irish having made changes for the Armenia clash following the World Cup play-off loss to Ukraine.
