Scotland will look to extend its winning start when it faces in Morocco its second Group C game at the FIFA World Cup 2026 in Boston on Friday.

The last time the two met was during the 1998 World Cup in France, where Morocco prevailed 3-0 courtesy of a brace from Salaheddine Bassir. Craig Burley getting sent off in the 53rd minute did not help Scotland either as it exited from the group stage.
