Key events
The pod squad is here from Los Angeles.
Steve Clarke has resigned as Scotland’s head coach, with the decision announced within an hour of confirmation the country had been eliminated from the World Cup. Clarke, who had been in post since 2019, signed a four-year contract extension shortly before the tournament. The manner of Scotland’s exit has led to a sharp rethink from the 62-year-old.
Group L saw three teams go through.
So did Group K.
Group J reached its conclusion.
The third-place race reached its conclusion with heartbreak for not only the Scots. Iran will so rue a late goal against Egypt being denied by VAR.
