Scotland confidence not dented by disappointing week, says Che Adams
Scotland striker Che Adams insisted a disappointing week would not dent confidence ahead of Euro 2024.
Steve Clarke's side fell to a 4-0 defeat by the Netherlands, despite impressing in possession for the bulk of the game, before enduring a frustrating 1-0 loss at home to Northern Ireland.
Adams said: "It was a bit disappointing but we can't beat ourselves up too much. We have plenty of positives to come and everyone is looking forward to that.
"We are always confident. These are two bumps in the road that we have got to deal with and take the positives from. Come June, everyone will be raring to go."
The defeats mean Scotland have not won in seven matches, their longest sequence without a win for 19 years.
The Southampton forward said: "You have got to look at the teams we have played against, they are top, top quality opponents. To get better as a nation you have to play against these teams and see where you stack."
Adams came off the bench in both matches after Lawrence Shankland and Lyndon Dykes were handed starts.
The 27-year-old will attempt to add to his 12 goals this season in a bid to catch Clarke's eye ahead of the trip to Germany.
"It's good options to have for the manager and definitely a headache because all three of us bring a different quality and a different feel to the game," he said. "It's up to the manager with the 23-man squad he has to pick.
"Everyone is always keeping a close eye on each other from afar. Everyone just has to keep doing what they are doing at club level to warrant a place.
"It's going to be hard to pick from that but everyone brings a different feel to it and everyone is ready for it."
