World Cup 2026: Ugly win Scotland sit pretty but what next?

The fact that they did not add more goals to the teams in the lowest level of the competition. It may upset those old enough to remember the World Cups of 1974, 1978 and 1982 when Scotland went out on goal difference.

The struggling Scots are just one performance away from making history by progressing to the knockout stages for the first time.

When 32 of the 48 countries pass, one point from Morocco or Brazil Mann drew 1-1. Saturday night – will definitely ensure progress. If the number of goals scored is low, three points may be enough.

Does this mean we will see a more cautious approach in the next two games?

Clarke went with two strikers for the game against Haiti, while former Scotland champion Scott Brown is expected to start one for the remaining Group C games.

“I think (midfielder) Ryan Christie is going to start with both of them,” he said. “I think we’ll go back to one going forward and add a bit more in the middle of the park.

“Ryan was fantastic when he came in. He protects the ball, gives you extra little legs and fights for you.

“Should we get more chances against Morocco and Brazil?”

Neil McCann believes the lone striker is the answer and suggests Lyndon Dykes is well-suited to the role.

“He knocks it on, he holds it for Scott McTominay and John McGinn to pass,” McCann said.

Another former Scotland winger, Pat Nevin, expects a change in formation but Clarke is expected to opt for a more central defender.

“The 4-4-2 doesn’t suit us, the midfield is completely open,” he said.

“I think we need a back three. Morocco are very fluid and quick in attack. It’s hard to counter what they get.”
