Scotland’s joy and optimism have been spilling onto the streets of Boston over the last week but Morocco delivered a sobering reality check by beating them 1-0 on Saturday, June 20. The feel-good journey has seen 20,000 Scots descend on Massachusetts, daring to dream of a first-ever knockout tie. But questions remain following the loss over whether Scotland manager Steve Clark should be building his team more heavily around his top players, including Scott McTominay and John McGinn. Scotland conceded after just 70 seconds against Morocco and will hope they can manage a better result in Miami for their final group game against five-time world champions Brazil.
