Scotland vs Morocco Immediate Reaction
Scotland
Scotland line up in a 3-4-2-1 formation with Angus Gunn starting between the posts behind a defensive trio of Grant Hanley, Jack Hendry, and Kieran Tierney. Andy Robertson and Nathan Patterson are deployed on the flanks, while Scott McTominay and Lewis Ferguson operate in central midfield. John McGinn and Ryan Christie are selected in advanced playmaker roles to support striker Ché Adams in attack.
Morocco
Morocco have opted for a 4-2-3-1 setup anchored by goalkeeper Yassine Bounou and a defensive line consisting of Achraf Hakimi, Issa Diop, Chadi Riad, and Noussair Mazraoui. The double pivot of Neil El Aynaoui and Ayyoub Bouaddi will protect the defense and allow Azzedine Ounahi to orchestrate play. Brahim Díaz and Bilal El Khannouss occupy the wide positions to flank central forward Ismael Saibari.
