Tonight’s kick-off isn’t putting Scotland fans off having one of their last party mornings in Boston.

What a treat this place has been to them, and vice versa. A match made in heaven.

Scotland's biggest music festival will swap guitars for goals when it screens the Scotland game at 23:00 BST after the last band has taken the stage.

Festival organisers DF Concerts say they are hoping for a sea of saltires from gig-goers at TRNSMT to show support for the team - but so far it's more like a parade of water-proof ponchos.

The rain is lashing down at Glasgow Green, meaning early arrivals got drenched as the music kicked off.

Singer Cammy Barnes opened the main stage, but he is pulling double duty today - the piper will perform Flower of Scotland on the main stage just before the World Cup match gets under way.

Seven pupils at the same school in Orkney have discovered previously unknown family connections to Scotland striker Lyndon Dykes.

The children at St Andrews Primary researched their family trees and discovered they are mostly fourth cousins or thereabouts.

Dykes' great-great grandparents - Richard Johnston and Robina Brodie - were from the island of Stronsay in Orkney.

The Scotland forward also has strong connections to Dumfries.

It feels very good, it's been far, far too long, but the whole country is absolutely buzzing, and we've got off to a flying start with the three points. Sets us up nicely for tonight, playing against a very good team, but we're in it, and we have got a chance.

Before the game kicks off, you walk out and you see them [the Tartan Army], you hear them and inside your heart's racing and every player, make no mistake, every player is going to run their hearts out, give everything.

But the reality is the support doesn't put the ball in the back of the net or make the killer pass or key tackles. It's what the players do that counts. The fans play a part in the atmosphere and create the atmosphere but the players have to do the business on the pitch and to get a result we've got to be realistic, we've got to step up the performance.

Charlie Adam
Former Liverpool midfielder on the Football Daily podcast

I think we will have to defend really well [against Morocco].

They’ve got quality players around the squad. We have to be in our top level game. We have to defend well, attack well.

We’ll need eight or nine players playing really well to really impact this game and if we do that, it will give us a chance.

Steve [Clarke] will have a game plan, there may be a tweak in formation, maybe go with one up front.

It will be a difficult match but we feel we are in a good place, there’s a good atmosphere, the Scotland fans are enjoying it.

Co-hosts Mexico became the first nation to a book a place in the last 32 with a 1-0 victory over South Korea.

Should Scotland fall down to third place in their group, there is a chance that they could play the Mexicans at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City in the first knockout stage.

What a party that would be!

Former Scotland women's captain Rachel Corsie plays word association with members of the Scotland men's 2026 World Cup squad.

Scott Allan takes encouragement from some other lesser-fancied nations' performances at the World Cup before Scotland's crucial Group C match with Morocco.

The Scots are two points better off than Morocco before Friday's meeting after the opening round of fixtures and one more point is likely to be enough for a place in the last 32.

Morocco are sixth in the world rankings - 31 places above Scotland - and former Celtic and Hibs midfielder Allan feels the Scots are in for a tough match.

"I'm a wee bit more uplifted by the fact I've seen teams like DR Congo and Cape Verde against some real top-class opposition, how defensively disciplined they were and managed to get a point," Allan told the BBC's Scottish Football Podcast.

"I'm looking at Scotland thinking that is probably the best way of getting a result. There's no getting away that Morocco have some real quality throughout their team. They've got pace, they've got energy and they've certainly got quality.

"Tonight's going to be all about a real strong disciplined performing for Scotland and if we do create a chance, can we take it? But I'm a bit more uplifted than I was maybe after the Haiti game just by seeing how some of the smaller nations have performed against better opposition.

"It'll be nerve-stricken because I think that's just the Scottish way, isn't it? We'll need a full 11 players absolutely at it.

"We'll be relying on the goalkeeper making saves at times, clearances, and, to be fair in the Haiti game I thought we defended well, especially that back five with the goalkeeper included. I just hope we can be a lot better on the ball. That was the key takeaway for me against Haiti.

"If you give the ball away as loosely as you did against them against Morocco, then ultimately you're going to give chances away against better opposition."

Most people think Steve Clarke will drop the 4-4-2 he went for against Haiti and bring in an extra midfielder to help stifle Morocco.

Will that be Bournemouth's Ryan Christie? Or Norwich City's Kenny McLean?

And will Rangers striker Lawrence Shankland be the one to drop out? Those are the key questions for Scotland before tonight.

Former Scotland midfielder Paul Lambert has been giving his thoughts on how Steve Clarke's side might line up against Morocco.

Having played a 4-4-2 system in their opening win over Haiti, Lambert expects to see a five-man midfield and a slightly more defensive mindset in their next outing.

"I think he'll drop one of the strikers to the bench because I think we could get overrun if we don't flood the midfield," Lambert told BBC Scotland.

"I think they'll stick with Lewis Ferguson and he either might bring in Kenny McLean to solidify the midfield or he might bring in Ryan Christie and keep John McGinn wide left.

"He might push Scott McTominay just behind the striker and make it a three in the middle of the pitch. So he could go 4-2-3-1.

"I just don't think we will be wide open because a point is good enough.

"I think up front, I think he either goes with Lyndon Dykes or Che Adams, one of the two."

Ryan Christie says Scotland are fully focused on making history after their opening World Cup victory against Haiti.

Steve Clarke's side won 1-0 last weekend and top Group C before Friday's match against Morocco, who drew their opening game 1-1 with Brazil.

Christie, who came on as a second-half substitute against Haiti, now wants to be part of the first Scotland outfit to reach the knockout stages of a World Cup.

"To kick on and try our best," the Bournemouth man said when asked about the team's mentality. "We're trying to take it one game at a time.

"We've done the important bit against Haiti and now we've got a chance to make history.

"Prepare as well as we can. The facilities here have been immense. Break down the opponents, see where we can hurt them and cause them problems."

It is not just the Tartan Army who are looking forward to tonight’s big game.

Moroccan Scots are also gearing up for the World Cup match, and hope both teams can ultimately progress to the next round.

Ayoub Nadir runs Finnieston Fez, Glasgow’s first Moroccan café.

“I wanted Scotland and Morocco to be in the same group. For me, it is very exciting. I’m from Morocco, this is my second home - being in the same group is amazing.”

Hopes are high for Morocco after reaching the semi-finals of the last World Cup, a (disputed) victory at the Africa Cup of Nations earlier this year, and the team’s fantastic performance against Brazil in last week’s 1-1 draw.

Ayoub thinks Morocco will get a narrow victory against Scotland.

His wife, Dounia Cherif, was also in the café and can’t wait for the game.

“No matters who wins, - we’ve won, because we are Scottish and Moroccan.

"We will be watching at home. Family together – we can scream, shout, do whatever we want.”

Some Scotland fans faced lengthy waits getting to the ground for the Haiti match last weekend, but organisers say crowd control and queuing has been improved for tonight.

The Tartan Army called for changes at Boston Stadium after thousands of supporters were stuck in line waiting for trains and to clear security gates.

Some supporters told the BBC there was potential for a crush outside Saturday's Scotland v Haiti fixture and reported barriers being toppled by the mass of fans.

Fifa acknowledged that queues were "longer than optimal" at the 64,000-seater venue, and that adjustments had been made after observing crowd patterns.

Of course David and Fraser are linked to Ayr United... this stuff writes itself!

Two football fans have crossed the Atlantic in their small propeller plane to make it to Boston to watch Scotland play in the World Cup.

David Smith and Fraser MacIntyre, chairman and vice-chairman of Ayr United football club, flew for 22 hours - stopping along the way in Iceland, Greenland and Canada.
