Steve Clarke has named his Scotland starting line-up to face Morocco in the World Cup.

Six days on from their 1-0 win over Haiti, Clarke's side return to the Gillette Stadium for their second Group C match, coming up against the reigning African Cup of Nations champions.

Shortly before their match against Haiti last Saturday, Morocco and Brazil played out an entertaining 1-1 draw at the MetLife Stadium.

Now, ahead of tonight's clash against Mohamed Ouahbi's team, the Scotland line-up has been revealed, with Clarke making THREE changes from the Haiti match.

Because of this, Nathan Patterson, Kieran Tierney and Ryan Christie have replaced Aaron Hickey, Ben Gannon-Doak and Lawrence Shankland in the starting XI.

Scotland Starting XI: Gunn, Patterson, Hendry, Hanley, Tierney, Robertson, McTominay, Ferguson, McGinn, Christie, Adams

Subs: Gordon, Kelly, Hickey, Ralston, McKenna, Hyam, Souttar, Fletcher, McLean, Curtis, Gannon-Doak, Shankland, Dykes, Hirst, Stewart
