Steve Clarke has put his Scotland squad on notice. Morocco, the team that stunned the world by reaching the 2022 World Cup semi-finals, is next on the schedule, and Clarke believes they’ve somehow gotten even better since Qatar.
Scotland’s head coach made the comments after his side ground out a 1-0 victory over Haiti in their opening Group C match on June 14, courtesy of a John McGinn goal.
Clarke was blunt in his assessment of what lies ahead. Morocco aren’t just a good team. They’re a top-10 ranked side that went toe-to-toe with France in a World Cup semi-final and have only added depth since.
The Scotland boss acknowledged that his team’s possession play against Haiti was nowhere near the level required against opponents of Morocco’s caliber.
The match is scheduled for June 19-20 at Boston Stadium, giving Clarke and his staff less than a week to overhaul their tactical blueprint.
