Yahoo Sports reports: It would be a big surprise if Lawrence Shankland and Che Adams did not start up front together in Scotland's opening group game at the World Cup, according to former international striker Kenny Miller. Hearts striker Shankland scored one and provided an assist before Torino's Adams scored a double in Saturday's 4-0 friendly win over Bolivia as head coach Steve Clarke adopted a 4-4-2 formation again after the 4-1 defeat of Curacao. "I would be very surprised - he has played that formation for these two preparation games - if he doesn't stick with it for the opener," Miller told BBC Radio Scotland Breakfast.
