Clarke, Robertson lay out Scotland’s must-win blueprint vs Morocco

Scotland head coach Steve Clarke and captain Andrew Robertson framed their June 19 World Cup opener against Morocco as a tournament-defining moment, not just another Group C fixture. Clarke told reporters in Boston that Scotland will deploy a controlled, possession-heavy approach but warned that Morocco’s speed on the break will test their defensive structure. “We know what we have to do—control the game, but respect their transitions,” Clarke said.
