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.

The 1998 competition represents the last time that Scotland were present in the finals of a World Cup, but 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.
