Steve Clarke praised Che Adams after he scored a hat-trick in Scotland's 4-0 victory against Liechtenstein. This marked Adams' first treble for Scotland, reflecting his significant contribution to the team, including an assist for George Hirst's goal. Adams opened the scoring early, doubled the lead with precision, and completed his hat-trick late in the match. Clarke emphasized the importance of strikers scoring goals to alleviate pressure and confirmed the effectiveness of playing two strikers up front, showcasing the positive impacts of their tactical choices.
I'm really pleased for Che. We know what he can bring. Strikers need goals. It's been a little while since he got one. I knew he was desperate to score.
He got an early one which releases the tension a little bit. I left him on because I knew he'd be desperate for that hat-trick.
He gets an assist for George [Hirst] too which is big, we play two strikers and they both score which is nice.
It's not the first time I've [played two up top], it's something we've used before, and it proved effective.
