After claiming a place in the World Cup qualifying play-offs, Scotland will look to secure a confidence-boosting result when they host Demark at Hampden Park tonight in the final fixture of Group F.
A 2-0 win in Moldova on Friday was enough to see Steve Clarke’s side progress as runners-up, while Denmark are already confirmed as group-winners thanks to their perfect record in qualifying.
The Euro 2020 semi-finalists have won all nine of their matches so far, including a 2-0 win over Scotland in September, and have conceded just one goal.
It’s not a dead-rubber for Scotland, though, as they will still want to claim one of the six seeded spots ahead of March’s play-offs as one of the best-ranked second-placed teams.
Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the match tonight.

What is the team news?
Scotland will be without Friday’s goalscorer Nathan Patterson due to suspension after the right-back picked up a second yellow card of the qualifying campaign against Moldova.
Scott McTominay also misses out through illness, while Lyndon Dykes is a doubt. The striker missed Friday’s win through suspension but Clarke has described him as “50/50” as he battles a knock. Ryan Christie also returns from suspension.
Scotland also have eight players who are in danger of missing the play-off semi-final in March due to suspension. Captain Andy Robertson, John McGinn, Billy Gilmour, Stephen O’Donnell, Jack Hendry, Che Adams and Kevin Nisbet would all be suspended if they pick up a yellow card tonight – so they may be rested.
Celtic’s Anthony Ralston has been called up to the squad due to Patterson’s absence.
Confirmed line-ups
Scotland: Gordon, O’Donnell, Souttar, Robertson, Tierney, McGinn, McGregor, Adams, Christie, Gilmour, Cooper
Denmark: Schmeichel; Vestergaard, Kjaer, Christensen; Wass, Delaney, Norgaard, Maehle; Skov Olsen, Poulsen, Daramy
Odds
Scotland: 12/5
Draw: 11/5
Denmark: 5/4
Prediction
While Denmark are one of the hottest sides in international football right now, Scotland will be hopeful of perhaps claiming a point at Hampden – enough to claim a seeded position. Avoiding needless suspensions would be a victory, though. Scotland 1-1 Denmark.
