Che Adams hopes he has cemented his place in Scotland's starting line-up for their World Cup opener against Haiti after his strike partnership with Lawrence Shankland contributed to all four goals in their final warm-up win over Bolivia.

Adams scored twice after Shankland opened the scoring then set up Scott McTominay for the second in New Jersey on Saturday.

Asked by BBC Scotland if the pair had laid down a marker for next Saturday's tournament opener against Haiti in Foxborough, the Torino striker replied "hopefully" while stressing "it is a team game" as he prepares to live out his "dream" of playing at a World Cup.

"To see things that you work on in training come off, it was a pleasure to play with him and get two goals," Adams said.

The 29-year-old thought they had responded to the encouragement by head coach Steve Clarke to be brave in their win over the South Americans - and the previous 4-1 defeat of Curacao at Hampden.

"Obviously, everyone's pulling in the right direction and just playing with belief and courage," he said.

"That's what the gaffer's told us to do and we did it again."

Scotland were not as potent after half-time in searingly-hot conditions at the Sports Illustrated Stadium amid the usual flurry of substitutions, but Adams stressed the win would mean: "Confidence going to the next game.

"It's obviously a big game that's happening next week, so we need to be ready and we need to be firing on all cylinders.

"It's always nice to score. It's always nice to win.

"The first half was especially difficult, with the weather and sun, but the boys dug deep and it got easy towards the end.

"So we just have to keep going like that and have as much confidence as we can going into the World Cup."
