What they're saying

"
Charlie Adam believes the nature of Friday's World Cup Group C game against Morocco may be to Scotland's advantage. "This game will suit Scotland, we'll be able to counter-attack quickly and not have as much possession but hopefully be able to hurt them in different areas," the former Scotland midfielder told BBC Radio 5 Live. John Collins, who played at Scotland men's last World Cup in 1998, believes the selection up front is the key issue for head coach Steve Clarke.
