Gannon-Doak likely to start on bench again versus Brazil - Levein

Ben Gannon-Doak might have to settle for being an impact substitute again in the final World Cup Group C game against Brazil on Wednesday, suggests former Scotland manager Craig Levein. There have been calls to start the Bournemouth winger, as the 20-year-old did in the opening with over Haiti, after he made an impact as a substitute in the defeat by Morocco. "The thing about Gannon-Doak for me is, starting him, I don't think [head coach] Steve [Clarke] is of a mind to start him and I can understand that," Levein told BBC Radio Scotland's Sportsound.

theguardian.com · last month

Scotland would have taken this outcome after 70 seconds. Ismael Saibiri had fired this highly rated Morocco team ahead. Men in kilts gulped under the blazing Massachusetts sun.

Onwards to Miami, for what promises to be quite the spectacle. The value in beating Haiti by a goal or only losing this by the same will all be apparent by full time on Wednesday. The Tartan Army need calculators in hand. Continue reading...

theguardian.com · 2 months ago

Scotland branded ‘unprofessional, weak’John McGinn: ‘Our job is to look after Scotland’Scotland’s return to the World Cup after a 28-year absence has been immediately overshadowed by a war of words with Norway. Steve Clarke and Scotland were branded “unprofessional”, “embarrassing” and “weak” by the Norwegians after the cancellation of a training game planned for Monday in Charlotte.
