Having negotiated a dangerous opening World Cup match against Haiti and banked a precious three points, Steve Clarke's side return to the Boston Stadium to take on Morocco on Friday (23:00 BST).

A point would almost certainly guarantee progression from Group C and a place in the knockout stages of a major tournament for the first time.

A victory would remove all doubt and save the country a nerve-shredding final group game against Brazil in Miami next Wednesday.

It is the biggest team selection of Clarke's career, but what are the key selection calls the Scotland head coach has to ponder? Who would the pundits pick? And what would you do?

Aside from one scary moment when he fumbled a shot, Angus Gunn was largely untroubled against Haiti and it is hard to see any reason to change the goalkeeper.

Scott McKenna missed out on the opening match through injury but is now back in the mix.

Grant Hanley and Jack Hendry showed up well in the first game, though, so does McKenna displace either of them in a back four? Or perhaps join them in a switch to three centre-backs in a back five?
