McLean has been a mainstay of Scotland squads under Clarke, earning 44 caps, mainly as a replacement.
The 32-year-old did start both matches in September’s international window and feels he is in a strong position to keep pushing for a place in the side.
“I’ve always worked as hard as I can back at club level to be part of it and that’s all every player can do really,” he added. “I’ll keep doing as much as I can and I’ll always be as available as I can for the manager and then the decision is his.
“I don’t want to here just because I’ve been here in the past. I want to continue to do as well as I can for Norwich and then hopefully it keeps me and the manager’s plans for as long as possible.”
