Steve Clarke has expressed disappointment over Celtic’s decision not to make their players available for Scotland’s friendly in Turkey next week.

The Hoops are heading to Australia for a tournament during the World Cup break and have made it clear that, as they are not obliged to do so, they will not be releasing any of their players for international friendlies during this period.
