Scotland hosts Denmark at Hampden Park in a decisive UEFA World Cup Qualifier match with a spot at the 2026 World Cup at stake. Scotland needs a win to qualify directly for the tournament for the first time since 1998, while a draw or defeat would push them into March's playoffs. Denmark, currently leading Group C with 11 points, only needs a draw to secure automatic qualification, although they face challenges due to a sickness bug affecting their squad. The match kicks off at 19:45 GMT, with Scotland recalling players Dykes and McKenna. Scotland's captain Andy Robertson, set to earn his 90th cap, emphasizes the importance of support from fans and the team's focus on performing well. Scotland's recent record against Denmark includes one loss in their last five matches but has historically been competitive. The game is expected to be intense, with both teams aware of what is at stake, and predictions favor a close and dramatic contest.
