Here's what some of you had to say:
David: Clarke may have got us to three major tournaments but once we got there the football was poor. Clarke was too defensive and loyal to certain players. Most of all I feel sorry for the Tartan Army.
Ryan: Shocked at how sudden it's happened and I hope the section of "supporters" that wanted him gone are happy. I feel I have to stick up for Clarke and the team as people have very short memories on where we were as a footballing nation when he took over to where we are now - actually thinking we should be taking points off the fifth and sixth teams in the world rankings. The group we had was one of the most difficult because of those rankings. I understand the disappointment and frustration against Brazil because we gifted them goals but these things happen. This team has given us so much over the past seven years and Clarke has been the catalyst. He's done the exact same for Scotland as his did for Kilmarnock in reconnecting the fan base and the team.
Alexander: He did okay with the team of players he had but his tactics were stale, one dimensional, dull, boring and the team never looked as though they would score many goals.
Stuart: Best of luck to Steve Clarke. He has taken the team as far as anyone can in my view. Changing the gardener doesn't automatically improve the soil.
Kenny: Scotland needs a reset. Positivity and expectation over caution and history. In the dugout yes, but also in the structures. Croatia, Denmark, Switzerland, Sweden, Czech Republic all outperform us with comparable resources. They have better elite programs for young players, better export rates of players to other nations, better development of technical skills, better coaching structures. The SFA would win a World Cup of governance but none of the above. They do identify targets but power sits with the SPFL and clubs. Resources are limited, power is concentrated and historic underperformance is revered.
