McTominay ‘ready to go’ for Scotland World Cup opener
FOXBOROUGH, USA: Scotland star Scott McTominay is ready for the team’s opening World Cup game against Haiti on Saturday after overcoming a stomach bug, coach Steve Clarke has said. “He is perfect and ready to go,” Clarke said when asked about the fitness of the Napoli man, Scotland’s star player. McTominay, 29, is coming off a season in which he scored 14 goals in all competitions for the Serie A runners-up. He has become an icon in Scotland since his stunning overhead kick goal in the crucial 4-2 win over Denmark last November which sealed his team’s qualification for a first World Cup since 1998. But Clarke does not want to place too much pressure on the versatile former Manchester United star heading into the Group C opener in Boston. “I think I have got 26 superstars here. To try and put so much onto one person is not fair. We have built everything we have over the last seven years on the squad, the team, everybody being together and playing their part at certain times,” said Clarke. McTominay has been used in a variety of roles in a Scotland shirt but should play as an attacking midfielder at the World Cup. “Some daft coach put him as a center-half five years ago, but obviously he is not a center-half,” added Clarke.
