Maguire under fire after own goal

Southgate defends Maguire

Harry Maguire's own goal in England's 3-1 win over Scotland on Tuesday has sparked a debate on Maguire's quality and the treatment he has received from fans and media. Southgate defended Maguire after the match, saying that he is a "top player" and that he has "full confidence" in him. However, many fans and pundits have questioned whether Maguire is good enough to play for England, and have called for him to be dropped from the team.

Scotland feel-good factor remains intact

Despite the defeat to England, Scotland manager Steve Clarke said that the team's feel-good factor remains intact. Clarke said that he was "proud" of his players' performance, and that he believes that they can still qualify for the World Cup. Scotland will face Ukraine in a play-off semi-final in March, and will need to win that match to reach the play-off final.

Clarke to lock himself away in a darkened room

Clarke said that he will lock himself away in a darkened room in the coming days to prepare for the Ukraine match. Clarke said that he wants to "get everything right" for the match, and that he will be "working hard" to ensure that Scotland are ready.
