Before Clarke takes his men to take on the hosts, Hungary and Switzerland, there are two big games this month.
First up is a trip to Amsterdam to take on the Netherlands on Friday, 22 March.
And that’s followed by a clash with Northern Ireland back at Hampden Park four days later.
The headline news is that Craig Gordon is BACK in the Scotland setup.
Clarke watched on as the 41-year old put in an inspired performance in the Jambos’ Scottish Cup win over Morton last night.
