Steve Clarke told the Scotland camp their collapse in Amsterdam “can’t happen”, says Ryan Christie.

The Bournemouth midfielder admits the substitutions made in the 4-0 defeat “didn’t pay off”, but a meeting with Northern Ireland gives the Scots a chance to put things right.

Asked what the manager told the players post-match, Christie said: “It’s just disappointment, him telling us that that can’t happen, the goals we conceded, that can’t happen.

“We can’t go like that and in tournament football, that could you be potentially out after a result like that and he said we now need to focus on Tuesday and get back to it.

“A win, a good performance and a clean sheet, I think is all in our minds. It’s not been an easy six games for us, but this is one we need to get back and try and bounce back.

“It’s always going be tough to come on to a game like this. Obviously in these game we’re trying to give everyone a chance to try and show what they can do, and unfortunately tonight it didn’t pay off, but we had a number of chances before the substitutions came on to get in front or get level and keep a clean sheet as well. I think the goal we conceded, the first one, is disappointing.”
