Keane denies McTominay's penalty claims after Scotland's loss to Morocco
Summary

Scotland lost 1-0 to Morocco in their World Cup match on June 20, 2026, with Roy Keane rejecting claims for a penalty from Scott McTominay. Keane asserted that McTominay was looking to go down rather than being fouled. Scotland's defeat came after Ismail Saibari scored just 70 seconds into the game. John McGinn also had a penalty appeal that was turned down as a fair challenge. The result puts Scotland's chances of advancement in the tournament at risk as they will now need a favorable result against Brazil in their next match.
