Adams at the double as Scotland thrash Bolivia in perfect World Cup warm-up
“I think a medal of some sort will come. I pray and hope that it is the gold one.” Ally MacLeod was never to live down his hubris of 1978. A Scotland loss to Peru and draw with Iran saw to that. Unlike MacLeod, Steve Clarke has never been prone to bold or rash predictions. Excitement will be left to everyone else. Who can reasonably deny them that?

TL;DR
- Scotland defeated Bolivia 4-0 in a World Cup warm-up match.
- Lawrence Shankland, Scott McTominay, and Ché Adams (twice) scored for Scotland.
- The win provides significant confidence for Scotland's first World Cup appearance in 28 years.
- Manager Steve Clarke praised the team's performance and the selection options he now has.
- Key players like Shankland and Adams have cemented their places in the starting lineup for the Haiti clash.
