Scotland's World Cup dreams are hanging in the balance but all is not lost for Steve Clarke's side despite their defeat to Morocco.
A 1-0 defeat by Morocco in their second Group C fixture at Boston Stadium on Friday night, thanks to an Ismael Saibari goal after 70 seconds, means Clarke's side, who remain on three points, know they have work to do if they want to progress past the group stage.

Clarke - the first boss to lead the nation to three major finals - and his players now face five-time world champions Brazil at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami on Wednesday knowing only a win will guarantee them a place in the round of 32.
As things stand, Scotland's points tally in Group C would see them qualify as one of the best third-placed teams, but there are no guarantees their current tally of three points would be enough. The Opta Supercomputer predictor currently rates their chances of progressing at just above 70 per cent.
Scotland have just over a 70 per cent chance of reaching the last 32 according to Opta's Supercomputer predictions, but a lot hinges on their result against Brazil in their final group game. Beat Brazil: Scotland will progress to the last 32 in either first or second place Draw with Brazil: Scotland will finish at least third and would be hugely likely to progress as one of the best-placed teams with a four-point tally Lose to Brazil: Scotland would finish third in Group C and things would get complicated - goal difference may play a major part in whether they have enough to finish as one of the eight best-placed sides
However, a point against Brazil would most likely be enough to secure one of the eight third-place spots that would take them through.
If they do progress, here's a look at who Scotland's most likely next opponents will be in the knockouts:
Match 1 - June 14: Haiti 0-1 Scotland , Boston
