What do Scotland’s preparations for the World Cup look like?

Haiti and Brazil have not kicked a ball since the World Cup draw, but Scotland’s other group rivals Morocco have fielded strongly.

Morocco, the hosts of the last Africa Cup of Nations, suffered heartbreak after losing in the final to Senegal, a very exciting match that made this season’s Scottish Premiership seem normal.

Senegal, the title winners, were eliminated and refused to play when Morocco were awarded a penalty kick in stoppage time, which Real Madrid’s Brahim Diaz missed when he attempted a Panenka shot.

There were also problems after the match, and even a commotion in the media room. Now, Morocco, who reached the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup, will look to heal their bruises this summer in the Americas.

Despite the chaos, the quality of football shone through again, according to former Scotland winger Pat Nevin.

“They’re fun to watch,” he told BBC Radio Scotland. “They’re very open, but they’ve adapted a little bit since then.

“Not only do they have good players, they are getting to the end of the competition, even though this tournament ended strangely.”
