Scotland suffered the first defeat of their 2026 World Cup campaign on Friday night as they were edged out 1-0 by Morocco. The deciding goal came early in the evening, with Ismael Saibari lacing a rocket past Angus Gunn with just 71 seconds played, and Scotland never quite responded. After a turgid first period, the Scots were much improved after the break but still struggled to break down their opposition, the champions of Africa.
