Scotland's head coach Steve Clarke may replace Lawrence Shankland with a midfielder for their upcoming match against Morocco on June 16 in Boston. Assistant Stuart McCall suggests Ben Gannon-Doak could start to enhance creativity. Scotland aims to secure at least a point following their recent 1-0 victory over Haiti, their first World Cup win since 1990. McCall noted the importance of maintaining attacking options while adapting the lineup for a challenging game against Morocco.

- •McCall expects possible lineup changes, shifting to a more creative setup.
- •Next match is against Morocco on June 16 in Boston.

"If we rewind 36 years to 16 June 1990 and the Italian city of Genoa, Stuart McCall was busy scoring to help Scotland secure a 2-1 win over Sweden. The former midfielder jokes that he "was always deadly from a yard out" and ultimately that victory wasn't enough to ensure Scotland progressed to the knock-out stage, but up until this weekend, it was their last win at a World Cup finals. Now the 62 year-old is assistant to Paul Heckingbottom at Preston North End, but he's also enjoying absorbing all the action from the United States, Canada and Mexico.
