Boyd: Scotland's nerves showing. Morocco won't wait around.

John McGinn's lucky deflection got the job done against Haiti. Scotland now tops Group C, partially on Brazil's 1-1 draw with Morocco. But don't pop the champagne just yet. Former Scotland striker Kris Boyd saw what everyone else did: a performance leaving plenty to be desired.

He told Sky Sports the pressure got to them. "You could tell the players were nervous." His words. "There were a few nervy passes and it took them five or 10 minutes to settle." Clarke's big idea, starting Lawrence Shankland and Che Adams up front, bombed. It was supposed to be attacking. It wasn't.

Sure, a few stood out. Lewis Ferguson in midfield. Hanley and Hendry at the back. And McGinn, well, he did "what John McGinn does." Good for them. But the team? Nowhere near it.

Morocco next. Clarke won't be stupid enough to try that two-striker nonsense again. Boyd's betting on a defensive overhaul. Five in midfield, maybe a back three. Smart money. Morocco is the world's seventh-ranked team. They just held Brazil to a draw. That's the quality gap Clarke needs to close. "Steve Clarke is not daft," Boyd stated. "He will know the performance levels will have to step up considerably if we are going to get anything out of it." You don't say.

Good news: A single point against Morocco likely punches their ticket to the round of 32. The expanded World Cup format, letting eight third-placed sides through, makes it surprisingly easy.
