Scotland and Morocco is a rare fixture in the footballing calendar, with the two nations having locked horns just twice throughout history.

The Tartan Army have never come out on top against the Atlas Lions, who lead the way in the head-to-head record with a 100% win rate - two victories from two.

Most recently, Scotland faced off against Morocco in their Group C game of World Cup 2026. Steve Clarke's side had taken all three points in a 1-0 win against Haiti prior, while Mohamed Ouahbi's men had secured a 1-1 draw with Brazil in their opener.

Fans of the European nation were in full voice in Boston that day, but Morocco's Ismael Saibari rifled home a powerful strike with just two minutes in the clock, enough to do the damage as the Tartan Army went on to lose 1-0.

The only ever previous meeting between Scotland and Morocco came in the group stage of the 1998 World Cup, and it proved to be a comfortable 90 minutes for the Atlas Lions.

Indeed, Salaheddine Bassir scored a brace in what proved to be a 3-0 win for Morocco, with Scotland having Craig Burley sent off early in the second period.

Before 2026, the 1998 competition was Scotland's most recent World Cup finals, though they could not make it out of the group stage.

Morocco also went out in the group stage despite picking up a respectable four points from three matches, with Brazil and Norway advancing from the section.
