Steve Clarke has spoken out against pitch invasions in Scottish football, praising the Tartan Army for their restraint during recent matches. The national team head coach described recent scenes at Celtic Park as "a bad look" for Scottish football, emphasizing that the pitch is players' workplace and safety must be protected.

Clarke specifically commended Scotland supporters for celebrating without spilling onto the pitch at Hampden Park. "It just shows that you can enjoy yourself without going on the pitch," he stated. Meanwhile, Hearts reported "serious physical and verbal abuse" towards their players and staff after a recent match, which Police Scotland is investigating.

The Scottish Professional Football League awaits a match delegate's report to determine potential action. Clarke maintained his position firmly: "People invading the pitch is not right, because player safety is endangered and that's not correct anywhere." The coach made these comments while announcing his World Cup squad, highlighting the importance of maintaining order in Scottish football.
