What has Achraf Hakimi been accused of hours before Scotland v Morocco?

Scotland v Morocco has been overshadowed by news about PSG player Achraf Hakimi

Scotland face Morocco in a pivotal World Cup Group C match, knowing a positive result could move Steve Clarke’s side closer to the knockout stages.
The build-up to the game has been dominated by news involving Morocco captain Achraf Hakimi, one of the tournament’s highest-profile players.
Hakimi is set to stand trial in France over a rape allegation dating back to 2023, following a ruling by a French Court of Appeal.
The 27-year-old has consistently denied the allegations against him, and has publicly maintained his innocence throughout the legal process.
No trial date has yet been set, with reports indicating proceedings are expected to take place after Morocco’s World Cup campaign has concluded.
Despite the legal developments, Hakimi remains with the Morocco squad and is expected to continue captaining the team at the tournament.
The defender is regarded as one of Morocco’s key players, with Scotland manager Steve Clarke describing the North Africans as one of the strongest teams in the competition and potentially even better than the side that reached the 2022 World Cup semi-finals.
Scotland head into the match after beating Haiti 1-0 in their opener, while Morocco impressed in a 1-1 draw with Brazil, setting up a potentially decisive contest in the battle to qualify from Group C.
