Scotland began their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign with a hard-fought 0-0 draw against Denmark in Copenhagen.
Steve Clarke’s side put in a dogged and disciplined performance against the Group C top seeds at the Parken Stadion - and created a few moments of note of their own in what could prove to be a precious point in the quest to make the tournament in the Americas next summer.
In a match of few chances, Scotland defended resolutely, with the biggest scare coming when sub Max Johnston survived a VAR check for a red card just moments after coming on.
The draw against the Danes will give Scotland great heart as they head to Hungary next to face Belarus behind closed doors at the ZTE Arena. They lost their opening match 5-1 away to Greece in Piraeus.
We give each player a mark out of ten for their performance against the Danes in Copenhagen.
13. Ben Gannon-Doak
Many wanted the winger to start. In the end, he only got around ten minutes on the pitch. Did show a couple of flashes and may be called upon to unlock Belarus on Monday. 3 | PA
14. Kenny McLean
Was asked to keep the Danes out and he snapped away at every tackle asked of him. Played very well for the short time he was on. 4 | PA
15. George Hirst
Part of a triple sub on 83 minutes, his main moment came when he barrelled in on goal, not spotting Gannon-Doak next to him. Had he slipped in the more pacey man, Scotland might have had a chance. 3 | PA
