Neymar fit and Ferguson ready for Scotland's date with Brazil

Neymar back for Brazil, Martinelli says he is ready

Neymar is fit and pushing to start against you on Wednesday. Gabriel Martinelli told reporters his teammate trained at full intensity on Monday and is in "great shape" (1). "He's performing at a very high level, and you could see the intensity in today's training session," Martinelli said (1). Brazil coach Dorival Júnior has Raphinha available too, so your backline faces a serious test (1). The match in Miami decides whether Scotland reach the knockout stage for the first time.

Ferguson is Scotland's most important player right now

BBC Scotland ran a deep piece on Lewis Ferguson ahead of the Brazil match, calling him your most influential player at this World Cup (2). His runs from midfield, his pressing, the way he drags the team forward, the numbers back it up. Clarke needs him to win that battle against a Brazil midfield that will try to dominate possession.

Fan reactions

The Tartan Army in Miami are not nervous. BBC Scotland spoke to supporters on the ground and the mood is pure confidence: "It'll be an easy win" was one line doing the rounds (3). After the win over Haiti and a narrow defeat to Morocco, fans believe Clarke's side can get what they need. The Brazil respect is real, Lucas Paquetá said they have "great respect" for Scotland, but your supporters are treating this like a party they intend to crash. Read more from fans in Miami.
