With just one point from their two games, both these sides have little chance of qualifying. They have to win and hope that Norway lose to leaders Brazil.

00:02keeping the side as we said in the studio which finished and which indeed dominated
00:06against Norway so Jackie McNamara will play down the right with Craig Burley in the middle
00:12David Weir continues in defence and Darren Jackson is the one player not available to
00:17them because he's suspended as is Sheba of Morocco they've also lost El Hadrawi with
00:25an injured ankle so Abrami and Amzeen who came on the substitutes against Brazil keep
00:30their places and Shahid Triki is included seven of the Scottish side played against France
00:38in this stadium back in November they will play in right to left
01:10as the moment come for Scotland to truly flower as a world cup football next
01:20never have they had a better chance not a big name they're playing when he's in the
01:25very wide right wing back position he feels slightly isolated relying on others to get
01:29him the ball in the center is in the hub of the action
01:37Fury comes in
01:41Hillkeeper came a mile and missed by roughly the same distance
01:47well Ben Zareike his name and I think he's going to make a name for himself hopefully
01:52in the right way for Scotland and the wrong way for Morocco
01:55there you see jury force in the air but the goalkeeper coming late and horribly misjudging
02:07the three of the other four already out of the competition
02:18he wants that cricket taken again and he wants words with Gallica and with Aburami yellow card for Gallica
02:35presumably also put Aburami pull back in the first place by the Moroccan
02:48it's only Gallica that's been booked
03:08well we're getting slightly confused signals here between pictures and the monitor that gives statistics
03:16the picture here says that Gallica has been booked the statistics say that Aburami has been booked
03:22impression was that the referee was going to book both of them so maybe between the two they've got it
03:26right
03:30good backpedaling but not sufficient
03:31oh and a beautifully taken goal
03:36by Basseer
03:39just one long ball
03:41Colin Hendry trying to back away
03:45and it was a finely struck shot
03:49Tahar who played it up
03:51Basseer got him behind
03:52difficult angle but by heaven he gave it some power
03:56it was a superb ball Hendry just got caught
03:59and hit it unerringly with his left foot
04:02this was the player who his manager predicted before the tournament will become one of the big stars of the
04:06tournament
04:06he hasn't showed that so far
04:09he hasn't showed that so far
04:09but that was a tremendous effort
04:10and I think the pace really beat Clayton at the near post
04:15there's a relieved man
04:19and that means that the passing players from midfield can put balls over the top of the Scots defence
04:26Tahap
04:28picked up by Drury
04:29that's a good try
04:34long way
04:35long way out
04:35but struck it really well
04:39didn't come back
04:40it came back a little but not enough
04:47they didn't have too much at the opening
04:49they got a goal
04:49and now they got a huge amount of it
04:51Scotland are trying to find it again
04:56Burley
04:59not a very good ball
05:00but Burley gets it in
05:03in
05:03Jellica
05:05really didn't get any power in there at all
05:07and
05:08goalkeeper
05:10unable to take comfortably
05:11slightly I suspect on his heels
05:14head in there and score
05:22that's here
05:29Shippo
05:34Prami
05:35and then again
05:39Sierra
05:39over on the left side
05:41Hada in the middle
05:42Haji dropping short
05:43this is Hada
05:46Shippo
05:49well struck
05:55well
05:55we spoke about the quality of the shooting in the tournament generally
05:58and the difficulties the players are having
06:00keep
06:03Christian Daly
06:04John Collins
06:11Burley
06:11promising
06:12Dury
06:13far side is Gallagher
06:16it's loose Collins
06:17still loose
06:20banged away by Amzine
06:25the goalkeeper has hurt his left hand
06:33Basir
06:33Hada
06:37Basir's pulled into the middle
06:40another worrying moment
06:43Evan Klo
06:49left by Jury but not anticipated by Gallagher
06:55Haji
06:56close but the flag stayed down
06:58that's a very good claim
07:00by Jim Layton
07:02big
07:03big Hada coming in
07:04big Hada coming in
07:11well it was a super ball
07:13played quick
07:14across the face of the box
07:16a defender's nightmare
07:17Leighton did really well
07:21Collins
07:34one of the deflections
07:35got the ball
07:41Lambert this time is given the ball when he found
07:43a bit of space to move into
07:46Collins
07:47and ball
07:48advantage played
07:49lead
07:49and here is Burley
07:52goalkeeper down well
07:55it's a corner
07:58not a bit cleanly enough
08:00goalkeeper rather happier at
08:02shot stopping
08:03than cross taking
08:09evening
08:12seven in the middle
08:14Gallagher
08:23well I think Craig Brown will be very pleased that Scotland are responding so positively
08:28at this present time
08:30midfields getting a fair amount of possession
08:34Jewelry looks strong
08:41here is Taha
08:47Haji
08:48again with the long legs
08:52Shippo
08:53I see it
09:00Hada's just left at the penalty spot
09:02Anzine coming in from the right
09:06Taha
09:07Haji
09:08tried to place it
09:12I think we've seen as many efforts at goal in this half as we've seen in any other half of
09:17the World Cup so far
09:20Positive players
09:26Three minutes being shown of stoppage time
09:35Daly
09:35Daly doing things his way again
09:42This is a worrying break
09:44His pass here
09:45on the right side this time
09:47but on the wrong side from his point of view
09:54good carry out by Hadda
10:06but nobody supporting him
10:15and the referee blows the whistle
10:18for the end of the first half
10:21and this man's goal
10:24Salahuddin Basir divides the sides
10:27and Morocco, the first team from Africa
10:29who successfully made it in the second round
10:32they did it in 1986
10:33lead Scotland by 1-0 at half-time
10:37Scotland having more of the play
10:39he was a better goalkeeper than the blind club ever gave him credit for
10:45away by Abrami
10:51chase for Hadda
10:52and he's got inside his man
10:54and there's a problem here
10:56is it going in?
10:57yes it is
11:03again the simple break
11:07he got inside weir
11:10and the goal always looked like it
11:14the two front players have each scored once
11:19and Scotland now need some sort of football miracle
11:25well I felt that weir in the first place was the favourite
11:30had us steamed on
11:32when Leighton came he certainly got a hand to it
11:34here we see it again
11:35he's in front
11:36he hits it with his right foot
11:39Leighton gets a parry
11:41doesn't get a strong enough hand on it
11:43and chases it back
11:44into his own goal
11:46what a moment
11:47dear dear dear
11:53second goal coming
11:54one minute and 32 seconds into the second half
11:59oh dear dear
12:04Deja vu
12:06Deja vu
12:07Deja vu
12:07was set with the right expression
12:14Jim Leighton
12:15Jim Leighton
12:16not his fault
12:16but it's a nightmare revisited
12:19for him
12:33McNamara
12:38Burley
12:56here we see Burley taking it on the inside onto his left foot
13:02clever play
13:04he needed to hit the corner
13:07he's hit it two straight
13:10Hendry
13:12up by Nebet
13:13Hendry
13:14taking one opportunities
13:16there are the push forward
13:18that will be a booking for Craig Burley
13:20I hope the referee takes
13:25the more lenient viewing
13:27he doesn't
13:28it's Fred
13:32it's a wild challenge by Craig Burley
13:34it was always the chance
13:36that the referee would go for the red card
13:41so calamity upon calamity
13:43tackle from behind
13:46and Burley
13:47is off
13:48Scotland
13:49have to repair
13:50a two goal disadvantage
13:51with ten men
13:55there are no excuse for the challenge
13:57he was asking for trouble
13:59against that elusive little forward
14:01fast
14:02and push up the field
14:03they
14:03they've got to leave the threat of the ball over the top
14:05there's nothing they can do about that
14:06but they mustn't play too deep
14:10there's Collins
14:11Gallagher
14:11but he's on his own
14:12and goes for the early shot
14:14not a bad try
14:18didn't feel he could go any further
14:20there were
14:20three around him
14:22the goalkeeper was fairly felt
14:23far forward
14:25as a fine effort
14:27but he had no alternatives
14:29he's got too short
14:34Amzine
14:36two runners forward
14:37Hadder's found some space in the middle
14:42well he went for glory Amzine
14:43but there were better options for him
14:46the moment then
14:47as he brought the ball for
14:48both
14:49Basia and Hadder had found good positions
14:55massively difficult
14:56Lambert
14:57the Lambert
14:57of the Collins
14:58in the
14:59sprung
15:00if Morocco get possession
15:01Azizi is forward
15:03on the right side
15:04number 16
15:05they're trying to get back to him
15:06Basia is going to the middle
15:08Hadji coming in from the other side
15:09Hadder is up as well
15:12Basia
15:12Azizi
15:24a little
15:24clever play
15:27sharp footwork
15:28they're always looking to break out
15:36Lambert can't take
15:37three on two break here
15:42Hadder is in the middle but offside
15:44Azizi's getting up
15:45this is Basia
15:46who's a little breathing
15:49just a little
15:57Plays in Spain, I don't think he's available there, but he's not the one
16:05The card is going to be shown
16:10She for the recipient
16:29Here's Taha
16:34Change for Hadda
16:37Boyd watching, Basir
16:40Beautifully done by Basir
16:45His evening is complete
16:48And so is Scotland's
17:01Morocco assuredly have a place
17:05It can't be denied them here
17:08And it would need something very special for it to be denied them in the other match
17:18Got a deflection of Colin Hendrick
17:22And Morocco lead 3-0
17:25Well it was a tired challenge wasn't it there of
17:30Boyd for Scotland who now are playing simply for pride
17:34Which to tell the truth they've been doing since going two goals behind
17:39Looking for some consolation
17:41Came here knowing that scoring will be difficult
17:46Henry is denied here after Booth couldn't make the touch
17:57It deserves something Scotland
18:00Colin shot
18:02Acrobatic leap by the goalkeeper
18:04That's going wide, Booth was close to that
18:07And then on the follow-up
18:08Henry was unlucky
18:10He was just palmed away by the goalkeeper
18:13Well it's quite incredible isn't it
18:14A goalkeeper who's looked inept all night
18:16Is likely to keep a clean sheet
18:23As I have noticed number 19 is on the pitch
18:25Salami, he came when we left here to go and look at that
18:30So important penalty
18:33Basir
18:34Spends the chance of a head-trick
18:42There's only 25 Basir
18:44It's a nice age to start making your way really in international football
18:47He's just had over 20 caps
18:50He's a comparative newcomer
18:53There's Gallagher
18:57Chased by Booth
18:58No one had to put it back to
19:00And the goalkeeper somehow gets himself in the right position
19:02To deny Scott Booth
19:03He's gone down in a bit of a heat
19:06Just before then we had a brief shot of Henri Michel
19:09And I think that he's heard the news
19:10That however well his team have done here
19:13It will not be good enough
19:18Here's Tahap
19:3130 seconds remaining for Scotland in this World Cup of 98
19:36Their long run of never making it to the second stage
19:45It's sadly going to continue
19:46And Morocco are going to come off this pitch
19:49Well you can see now from the attitude of Henri Michel
19:52That he knows but I don't think his players do
19:54Morocco are going to come off this pitch thinking that they've done it
19:57But Norway have beaten Brazil
19:59By two goals to one
20:01And they will go into the last 16
20:04And will play Italy
20:07Extraordinary sequence
20:09But the one that Scotland wanted to rid themselves of
20:13Remains
20:16Eighth appearance in the World Cup Finals
20:18Six times in the last seven
20:20But they still haven't been able to go through
20:23From the group stage
20:26They gave themselves the extra difficulty
20:29Conceded two goals which they look back on
20:31And feel how will we court out like that
20:33And then when Craig Burley
20:35Made the challenge
20:37That was always in danger of receiving the red card
20:40And did receive the red card
20:42They were asking the impossible
20:44Craig Brown reluctant to throw on extra legs
20:48By using his substitutes
20:50And in the end Scotland have gone down
20:51Beaten comprehensively by three goals to nil
