Che Adams scored twice as Scotland delivered a dominant 4-0 victory over Bolivia in New Jersey, providing the perfect warm-up before their World Cup campaign begins against Haiti next week. The Tartan Army will head to Boston with confidence soaring after this emphatic display at the Sports Illustrated Stadium.

Lawrence Shankland opened the scoring with a powerful header from Andy Robertson's cross, continuing his fine form after netting twice against Curacao. Scott McTominay added a second with a well-taken finish, before Adams completed the first-half scoring with goals either side of the half-hour mark. Steve Clarke's side showed the benefit of working on their attacking combinations in training.

Ben Gannon-Doak proved a constant threat down the flank, setting up Adams for Scotland's third with a precise low cross. The Bournemouth winger's pace caused Bolivia problems throughout, and he was unlucky not to add his own name to the scoresheet when his powerful effort was saved. Robertson also went close with a header as Scotland's dominance continued.

Clarke made only two changes at halftime but Scotland maintained their intensity despite the stifling heat. While no second-half goals followed, the manager will be satisfied with his team's clinical opening 45 minutes. Scotland's first World Cup fixture in 28 years arrives with momentum firmly on their side.
