Scotland are set to face Morocco in their World Cup group stage fixture on Friday at 23:00 BST, with the match representing another chapter in Scotland's long and storied tournament history.

The encounter gives Scottish fans the chance to watch their side test themselves against one of Africa's finest teams — Morocco, who have established themselves as a genuine continental power in recent years.

Morocco's Atlas Lions have grown into one of the most formidable sides in world football, famously reaching the semi-finals of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, becoming the first African nation to achieve that landmark in the tournament's history.

For Scotland, Friday's contest is an opportunity to add to the legacy of a nation whose World Cup history stretches back decades and features some of the sport's most recognisable names.
