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