Charlie Adam believes the nature of Friday's World Cup Group C game against Morocco may be to Scotland's advantage.
"This game will suit Scotland, we'll be able to counter-attack quickly and not have as much possession but hopefully be able to hurt them in different areas," the former Scotland midfielder told BBC Radio 5 Live.
"We're going to need [Ben Gannon-Doak] on that counter attack, we are going to need his pace, his power. We might look to try and play maybe an extra midfielder in there and only play one up front."
Former Scotland goalkeeper Gemma Fay agrees: "We like being the underdogs. I don't think that fazes us too much. [Steve Clarke's] probably got something tucked up his sleeve somewhere.
"All we need is a point. And by hook or by crook or off John McGinn's backside. However it happens, we don't care."
John Collins, who played at Scotland men's last World Cup in 1998, believes the selection up front is the key issue for head coach Steve Clarke.
"The question for the manager tonight is who he plays up front and Stevie, it's a big one," Collins said.
"Lawrence Shankland can drop out. Does he start with Che Adams, who gives you more mobility, can hold the ball up better, or does he go for Lyndon Dykes, who's good in the air, he can win flick-ons?
"I really hope he doesn't go for the back five and bring another central defender in. I hope he stays with the back four."
