play off

It was a similar story in Athens in the first leg of their Nations League relegation play-off, with Scott McTominay's first-half penalty earning the Scots a first-leg win.

He leaves the club having steered Saints to the Super League play-off semi-finals, during which they pulled off an incredible last-minute win against Leeds Rhinos at the eliminator stage before being well beaten by Hull KR on Saturday.

They claimed the final play-off berth with a sixth-placed finish and pushed Sam Burgess' Warrington all the way in their eliminator game before succumbing to a dramatic 23-22 reverse.

They showed grit to come back and stun Leeds at Headingley in their first play-off game but could not pull off a surprise win at Hull KR in the semi-final.

Clarke's men could also be out of sight of Greece - and have a play-off spot guaranteed - by the end of Sunday.
