Comments and predictions for Scotland vs Denmark: Hands on each other

Latest Scotland vs Denmark team information

Scotland are without two midfielders playing in Italy, Billy Gilmour and Lennon Miller, through injury, but it is goalkeeper Angus Gunn's absence that has fans really worried.

In his surprise return, 42-year-old goalkeeper Craig Gordon – who has not played an official match since last season – made seven saves against Greece.

Although Gordon was partly to blame for the third goal, his experience is likely to see him continue to start on Tuesday night, but Clarke may make some changes after a lacklustre display.

Che Adams missed a number of chances and could be replaced, while Ryan Christie has scored in back-to-back games for the country – his first in five years – and Ben Doak has just scored his first goal for Scotland.

On the Danish side, they were forced to make a change in attack in the match against Belarus when Rasmus Hojlund was sick and Jonas Wind had to play instead.

It is unclear whether the on-loan Napoli striker will recover in time; Fulham centre-back Joachim Andersen is also battling a virus.

Morten Hjulmand is not fit enough to start on Saturday but will return to midfield after coming on as a substitute, while playmakers Damsgaard and Christian Eriksen continue to lead the visitors' play.

Latest predicted lineup for Scotland vs Denmark

Scotland:

Gordon; Ralston, Souttar, McKenna, Robertson; McGinn, Ferguson, McTominay; Gannon-Doak, Christie; Adams

Denmark:

Schmeichel; Kristensen, Andersen, Christensen, Dorgu; Hojbjerg, Hjulmand; Isaksen, Eriksen, Damsgaard; Hojlund

Latest football commentary on Scotland vs Denmark

Scotland entered last month with back-to-back home wins over Belarus and Greece, taking their points tally to 10 – level with Denmark at the top of Group C.

Having secured their playoff places, both teams head into this month's series aiming to qualify directly, with Scotland looking to end a 28-year absence from the World Cup.

However, it all seemed to collapse when Steve Clarke's side were 3-0 down to eliminated Greece, until an unexpected scenario emerged in Denmark to help rekindle Scotland's hopes.

While Denmark squandered an early chance to book their place, goals from Ben Doak and Ryan Christie helped Scotland reduce the deficit in Piraeus and continue to press for an equaliser.

Che Adams missed a golden chance, and goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos repeatedly denied close-range shots from Scott McTominay and George Hirst, forcing Scotland to accept a 2-3 defeat.

However, Scotland were surprisingly “saved” by Belarus – the team they struggled to beat at Hampden – and the top spot in Group C is still within reach.

If Scotland beat Denmark in Glasgow, they will qualify for the World Cup as group winners; if they fail, they will have to play a playoff. This means Scotland are just one game away from their first World Cup since 1998.

In terms of recent history, Scotland have the slight edge: both teams won 2-0 at home in 2022 World Cup qualifiers, and in the last 20 years Scotland have won three and lost one of the meetings.

The only draw in that period came last September, when the two sides began their journey to North America with a tense goalless draw in Copenhagen.

Since then, Denmark have emerged as favourites to top Group C, but they missed out on the chance to secure a place in the knockout stages when they were held to a draw by Belarus on Saturday night.

Belarus – who have lost all four of their opening games and have yet to pick up a point – caused a huge shock at Parken Stadion.

Mikkel Damsgaard's first-half strike opened up the chance to book a ticket, but a sudden collapse just three minutes into the second half left the home team 1-2 down.

Gustav Isaksen equalized, but Belarus – ranked 103rd in the world, 83 places below Denmark – held on for seven minutes of extra time.

So Brian Riemer's men head to Hampden just a point ahead of Scotland, and a loss would see them drop into the playoffs. A draw or win would see Denmark avoid two potentially dangerous games in March.
