Steve Clarke wasted no time dwelling on Rodri's comments about Scotland after the victory over Spain in March.
The national team earned a stunning 2-0 victory over Rodri's Spain at Hampden Park earlier this year.
And Manchester City midfielder Rodri was left furious as he bitterly commented on Scotland's playstyle in the win. He said: “It’s the way they play. You have to respect at the end but for me it’s a bit rubbish because it’s always wasting time. They provoke you and they always fall.
“This for me is not football. For the speed of the sport you have to move on, but the referee has to take part of this and he says nothing.
“It was frustrating because we want to win and it’s difficult because they waste time, waste time. But it is what it is. They have their weapons and we have our weapons and we will learn for the next time.”
Clarke was quizzed on Rodri's comments by a journalist for a Spanish outlet ahead of the return fixture in Seville on Thursday, but he wasted little time in rebuttal.
The Scotland boss replied: "No, I can't even remember what he said, to be honest. It's not something I ever get involved in.
"That game was in March, this game is in October, it's a totally different game."
