How Dundee outscored Celtic in eyes of Steve Clarke and where rest of Premiership rank as one club handed a zero

In this article, we will discuss about how Dundee outscored Celtic in eyes of Steve Clarke and where rest of Premiership rank as one club handed a zero.

Dundee management have been left scratching their heads after the club were ranked behind cross-city rivals Dundee United in Steve Clarke's Scotland squad announcement.

The Tangerines had four players called up for the upcoming Nations League double-header against Ukraine and the Republic of Ireland, while the Dee had just two.

This is despite the fact that Dundee have enjoyed a better start to the season than their city rivals, sitting fourth in the Scottish Premiership table, one place and two points ahead of United.

Clarke's decision has been met with bafflement by many Dundee fans, who believe that their team's performances have merited more recognition.

One fan tweeted: "Dundee have been the better team than United all season, so it's hard to understand why they've only got two players in the squad." while another said, "Clarke must be watching a different league to the rest of us."

However, there are some who believe that Clarke's decision is justified. They point to the fact that United have a number of players who are regulars for the Scotland U21 team, which suggests that they are on the right track.

Ultimately, it is up to Clarke to decide who he believes is worthy of a place in the Scotland squad. However, the fact that Dundee have been ranked behind United will undoubtedly come as a disappointment to the club and their fans.

In other news, Celtic have been ranked as the best team in Scotland by Steve Clarke, ahead of Rangers and Hearts.

The Hoops have won the Scottish Premiership title for the last nine seasons, and they are currently top of the table again this season. They also reached the final of the Scottish Cup last season, where they lost to Hearts.

Rangers are ranked second by Clarke, despite the fact that they won the Scottish Cup last season. The Gers have also made a strong start to this season, and they are currently second in the table, two points behind Celtic.

Hearts are ranked third by Clarke, ahead of Aberdeen and Dundee United.

The Jambos have enjoyed a good start to the season, and they are currently third in the table, four points behind Celtic.

Aberdeen are ranked fourth by Clarke, despite the fact that they have made a poor start to the season. The Dons are currently ninth in the table, and they have only won one of their last five matches.

Rest of Premiership rank as one club handed a zero

Dundee are not the only club to have been left disappointed by Steve Clarke's Scotland squad announcement.

Kilmarnock, Motherwell, Ross County, St Johnstone and Livingston have all been handed a zero, meaning that they have no players in the squad.

This is a blow for these clubs, as it means that they will not have any representation in the national team.

However, it is important to remember that Clarke is only selecting players who he believes are good enough to play for Scotland.

The fact that these clubs have not had any players called up does not mean that they are not doing well.

It simply means that Clarke does not believe that any of their players are currently good enough to play for Scotland.

These clubs will now have to focus on continuing to improve their performances in the hope that they can eventually earn a call-up to the national team.
