Summary
Four first-half goals carried Scotland to a 4-0 warm-up win over Bolivia in New Jersey, giving Steve Clarke's side a second straight high-scoring tune-up before facing Haiti next Sunday.
Lawrence Shankland opened the scoring, Scott McTominay added the second, and Che Adams struck twice as Scotland controlled the game despite 32.7C heat and an air-quality alert.
Clarke also got encouraging signs from Ben Gannon-Doak and from a two-striker setup with Shankland and Adams, a combination that looked increasingly likely to start against Haiti.
The result leaves Scotland with 8 goals in 2 preparatory matches and, just as importantly, no new injuries, a sharper contrast with the troubled buildup before their last major tournament.
