Scotland’s secret weapon who has Morocco in his sights

  • Scotland secured a vital 1-0 victory over Haiti in Boston, with veteran midfielder John McGinn scoring the decisive goal, which moved Steve Clarke’s side to the top of Group C.
  • McGinn's goal resulted from a rebound after Che Adams' initial shot, following a brilliant attacking play initiated by young winger Ben Gannon-Doak.
