Steve Clarke nonplussed as Scotland share hotel with superstar singer Katy Perry

Steve Clarke was nonplussed to hear that he and his Scotland team were sharing a Glasgow city centre hotel with global superstar Katy Perry.

The UK leg of the American singer’s world tour kicked off in Glasgow on Tuesday but Clarke, 62, said: “I didn’t know she was there.

“I’ve heard the name. I’m sure if you played a couple of her songs I’d say, ‘oh I recognise that one’, but I couldn’t name you one song, I’m sorry.

“That’s no disrespect to Katy, but I’m from a different generation.”
