• Head coach says 2022 semi-finalists are now even better

• Scotland could deploy back three against Group C rivals

Steve Clarke has warned Scotland the Morocco team they will face on Friday are superior to the one that reached the semi-finals of the World Cup in 2022.

Scotland kicked off their tournament with a 1-0 win over Haiti, which came hours after Morocco impressed during a 1-1 draw with Brazil. Clarke answered with a firm “absolutely” when asked whether Morocco would pose as stern a threat as Brazil to his side in Group C.
