SCOTLAND manager Steve Clarke and goalkeeper David Marshall backed a new teaching tool today that will bring the European Championship into classrooms.

The Learning Through Football initiative is designed to use the power of the sport to improve literacy and numeracy among primary and secondary school pupils.

It has been developed in line with the Curriculum for Excellence and includes more than 40 activities centred on the delayed Euro 2020 for teachers to download and deliver after the Christmas holidays.
