Scotland’s World Cup campaign faces a major hurdle in Boston as they take on Morocco, fresh from a 1-1 draw with Brazil.
Ismael Saibari’s clever finish gave Morocco the lead before Vinicius Jr equalised, but the Atlas Lions’ organisation and youthful energy impressed. “Technically, they look better than Brazil,” said Gus Poyet.

Steve Clarke’s side edged Haiti 1-0, but must avoid defeat against Morocco or Brazil to stay alive in Group C. Former Morocco midfielder Hassan Kachloul warned: “Scoring the first goal could be decisive and I don’t expect many goals.”
With rising stars like Ayyoub Bouaddi and Saibari driving Morocco’s new-look team, Scotland will need discipline and sharp counter-attacks to keep their qualification hopes intact.
