Underdogs Scotland are ready for Morocco - Clarke
- Published
Head coach Steve Clarke believes being the underdog can be Scotland's key asset on Friday when they attempt to make history against Morocco in the World Cup.
The Scots sit top of Group C after one game and know a point would all but secure their first-ever safe passage out of a major tournament group stage.
A win over Haiti has built that platform, but the game at Boston Stadium against the African champions is a different prospect.
"Against difficult opponents, we have to be very good," Clarke said.
"Sometimes the Scottish psyche - we're more comfortable when we're the underdogs.
"It's just to focus on what we can do. We don't really speak about what might happen.
"We can only speak about what we can control on the pitch and that's being good in possession and out of possession. If we get those right, we have a chance to get a result."
Clarke predictably remained tight-lipped about which system he is going to deploy against the Moroccans, having moved to a less conventional 4-4-2 against Haiti.
"It's done well for us, but every system we've ever played, lots of work has gone into them," he said.
"It's something we've always tried to expand on - different systems for different games. You'll have to wait and see."
