What channel is the Scotland game on? Denmark match info, kick-off time, TV and stream details

Scotland have qualified for the World Cup play-offs meaning they are just two matches from taking part in next year’s tournament in Qatar.

There is, however, one final qualifying group game left that could make all the difference with three points against Denmark at Hampden Park this evening guaranteeing top seeding for Steve Clarke’s side for the play-off semi-final in March.

That will be easier said than done as Denmark are the undefeated group winners, however a draw, and even a narrow defeat, may be enough to squeeze Scotland into the seeded pot if results elsewhere go their way. Here’s what you need to know, and when you should be watching.

Why does it matter?

Scotland are currently outside the seeding positions for the World Cup play-offs so will require a win to guarantee themselves a home Hampden semi-final against an unseeded nation. The six seeds will be the six best placed group runners-up while the unseeded sides will be the four worst placed group runners-up plus the two nations that qualified via the Nations League.

Who will be picked?

Scott McTominay definitely won’t as he’s got a throat infection, and neither will Nathan Patterson because he’s suspended. Lyndon Dykes is rated 50-50 due to an ankle knock. Celtic’s Anthony Ralston and Hibs defender Ryan Porteous have been added to the squad.

What were the scores when Scotland played Denmark before?

Scotland have met Denmark 17 times and have 10 wins to seven losses meaning the sides have never drawn. The more recent record makes for less positive reading with the Danes coming out on top in six of the last eight meetings, including the recent World Cup qualifier in Copenhagen in September which the hosts won 2-0.

Anything else?

Scotland have seven players walking a suspension tightrope this evening. With one booking to their name in qualifying campaign already, if any of Andy Robertson, John McGinn, Billy Gilmour, Che Adams, Jack Hendry, Kevin Nisbet and Stephen O’Donnell pick up another yellow card this evening, they will be suspended for the play-off quarter-final in March. It remains to be seen how this will affect Steve Clarke’s team selection.
