Steve Clarke has been inducted into the Scottish Football Hall of Fame, announced today by the Scottish Football Museum and the Scottish FA at Barclays Hampden.
His induction comes as part of the recent revamp of the Hall of Fame, which celebrates those who have made a significant, positive impact to the game in Scotland.
Steve is the first nominee in the 2026 cohort to be inducted, following public nominations and the meeting of an expert committee earlier this month.
As Scotland Men’s National Team prepares for a historic return to the FIFA World Cup with a send-off match against Curacao at Barclays Hampden tomorrow, Steve said: "It's an honour to be inducted into the Scottish Football Hall of Fame. Especially when I look at the past inductees, who have made such a positive contribution to the game.
"Individual accolades should always come second to achievements for the wider group, and I'm proud of what the players and staff – past and present – have been able to accomplish, in terms of taking Scotland back to major international tournaments after we spent too long on the sidelines.
"They have given this country all that they have, and you can see the wider impact of that across the nation. So, this recognition is for them as much as me."
Speaking on behalf of the Scottish Football Museum, which houses the Hall of Fame exhibition, a key attraction for visitors to Europe's first national football Museum, Chairman Robert Craig said: "It is with great pleasure that we see Steve Clarke inducted into the Hall of Fame today.
"Visitors to the Museum love being in the Hall of Fame gallery and reading about the legends of the Scottish game, and Steve was a very popular nominee from our visitors and amongst the Committee.
“Ahead of the most exciting summer of football, we are thrilled to honour Steve in this way."
