Scotland fans, you might want to take a look at this…

Steve Clarke suggested the pressure on Scotland has eased following their win over Haiti. The manager said: “I am absolutely delighted with my players. Resilience, character had to be on the pitch tonight. There is no relief. Everyone told us it was a must-win game and we won. When you win a must-win game, you have to be happy with yourselves.”

On the upcoming group stage fixtures against Morocco and Brazil, he added: “We go into them with less pressure than everybody put on to us going into this game. If we defend as well as we did here, hopefully play a little bit better with the ball and create more, we will be OK. It’s not about raising the performance, it is about a different approach against a different opponent.

“Towards the end, you know you are 1-0 up and have something to hang on to so that is what you do. The players deserve a lot of credit. I thought Haiti were terrific at denying us time and space, which made it difficult. So the other characteristics that get you three points come out. That is why we are sitting here with three points and Haiti are empty handed.”

Scotland kicked off their World Cup campaign with a crucial 1-0 win over Haiti thanks to a first-half goal from John McGinn. Ewan Murray was at Boston Stadium to watch the action unfold…
