This feels like it’s going to be an epic night of drama and Scotland will have to embrace the chaos of the situation and go for it. Denmark are solid and tough to break down, but Scotland will find a way to reach their first World Cup in almost 30 years. Scotland 2-1 Denmark.

Midfielder Elliot Watt says Motherwell's Scotttish players have been having "a good laugh" with manager Jens Berthel Askou after Scotland beat Denmark to qualify for the World Cup. Watt revealed Danish manager Askou was "licking his wounds" after Tuesday night's defeat having talked up his national side's chances.

Scotland are currently a point behind Denmark in Group C, and four points ahead of Greece. So, irrespective of the result at Hampden on Tuesday, they are guaranteed at least a playoff spot. However, for Steve Clarke's team, nothing other than a win will be on the agenda on an occasion like this in front of what is sure to be a raucous home crowd.

Scotland lost 3-2 to Greece last time out, but their hopes of automatic qualification for the World Cup are still alive. A victory over Denmark would send Steve Clarke’s side through to next

"The majority of Clarke's success comes from being calm. After the Belarus game he lost it a wee bit, he got a bit more aggressive, but on the whole he stays calm and consistent which gives the players the message of calmness and allows them to go out and perform the best.

Making sense of one of the craziest nights in Scottish football's history - and what it means for World Cup 2026

Scotland’s World Cup flame is burning more brightly than at any point since 1997. One win away from securing a berth back at a tournament where participation once felt like a birthright, everything is building towards an undoubtedly fraught but hopefully rewarding climax.
