Gilmour out, Brazil await in group decider

Brazil on Thursday, everything on the line

Scotland face Brazil at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, and a draw could be enough (1) (2). Win it, and you top the group. Lose, and it gets complicated.

Steve Clarke has big calls to make, pundit Craig Levein called the selection a "dilemma" ahead of the match in the early hours of Thursday (1). Brazil captain Lucas Paquetá says his side have "great respect" for Scotland (5).

Your team sits on three points from two matches: Scotland 1–0 Haiti and Scotland 0–1 Morocco (2).

Gilmour out, knee injury

Billy Gilmour will not play again this summer. The Napoli midfielder has suffered a knee injury that ends his tournament (2).

No shots on target against Morocco already raised questions about Scotland's attack, losing Gilmour's distribution from deep makes that problem harder to solve.

Robertson moves to Tottenham

Scotland captain Andy Robertson completed a free transfer to Tottenham this month (2).

The timing is unusual, a club move sealed in the middle of a World Cup campaign. Robertson remains your leader on the pitch for Thursday.

Kenny Miller takes over at Maccabi Tel Aviv

Former Scotland striker Kenny Miller has been appointed Maccabi Tel Aviv head coach on a permanent basis (3). He is joined by Stuart Taylor, who leaves St Mirren to become his assistant (3).
