Pocognoli may require patience to deliver on Scotland shake-up

The Tartan Army are marching into the unknown as Scotland begin life without Steve Clarke, the nation's longest serving and most successful manager.

For seven years, they were guided by Clarke, who - despite leaving many feeling fatigued by his style of football - led them from the international wilderness to three major tournaments.

The Belgian has already pocketed early goodwill by freshening up the squad, but that cordiality will only carry the 39-year-old so far if the promised style and substance is not delivered.
