Steve Clarke has named his Scotland side to face Brazil at the World Cup.

Five days on from their 1-0 defeat to Morocco in Boston, the national team has travelled to Miami to face the five-time winners, now managed by ex-Milan, Chelsea and Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti.

Following their 1-0 win over Haiti 11 days ago, Clarke's side know that a point will more than likely be enough to secure passage to the next round, with a low-scoring defeat also bringing about the possibility of qualification.
