What they're saying

"
Scotland will have to wait until potentially the early hours of Sunday to find out if their World Cup campaign will continue, but Aston Villa midfielder John McGinn believes it is "unlikely" and head coach Steve Clarke suspects they are "going home". Knowing a draw would almost certainly be enough to reach the last 32, Steve Clarke's side suffered a chastening 3-0 defeat by Brazil to finish third in Group C. "We lost poor goals at poor times against a team that can punish you with quality," Villa captain McGinn told BBC Sport.
