Ché Adams scored twice as Scotland thrashed Bolivia 4-0 in an international friendly at the Sports Illustrated Stadium in Harrison, New Jersey. The win served as a final warm-up before Scotland's first World Cup appearance in 28 years.
First-Half Dominance
Scotland raced to a 4-0 lead by half-time, with goals from Lawrence Shankland, Scott McTominay, and a brace from Adams. The performance showcased Scotland's ruthless efficiency, easing concerns ahead of their crucial group stage match against Haiti.
While the opposition was limited, Scotland's approach was commendable. The team's confidence soared, with key players like Andy Robertson, Aaron Hickey, McTominay, and John McGinn solidifying their starting spots.
Selection Headaches for Clarke
Shankland's performance guarantees him a starting role against Haiti. However, manager Steve Clarke faces tough decisions in goal and central defense. Ryan Christie's strong display against Bolivia boosts his chances of featuring in the tournament opener.
Scotland's first World Cup match in 28 years is against Haiti next weekend. If they maintain this form, they have a realistic chance of advancing from the group stage for the first time in their history.
