Despite being caught napping in the 70th second of the match, the Scotland team battled back to hold the mighty Moroccans at bay for the rest of Friday night’s game, riding their luck and playing some good defensive footie in the second half, even creating a couple of half chances for themselves along the way.
As you can seen from Falkirk Herald photographer Michael Gillen’s pictures, the Falkirk Scotland fans’ passion was never extinguished and the second half performance from Steve Clarke’s lads can give the entire country cautious optimism for Wednesday night’s crucial clash with Brazil.
Can Scotland turn the tables on a nation which caused us great distress with a 2-1 squeaker in 1998 and defeated us back in 1982 and 1990.
One thing’s for sure, it's going to be another late night to remember in the Falkirk Fan Zone.
