Scotland prepares for Morocco match after tense win over Haiti
Summary

Scotland's national soccer team aims to build on their 1-0 victory against Haiti as they face Morocco in Group C of the World Cup. John McGinn's goal secured Scotland's first World Cup win in 36 years but raised questions about their performance level against stronger opponents. Coach Steve Clarke may consider tactical adjustments, possibly reverting to one striker for a more compact midfield. This decision comes as Scotland seeks to secure their place in the knockout stages, needing at least a point from their upcoming matches.
