IT all comes down to this.
One VERY big match for Scotland – against Denmark – that could result in one VERY big prize.
Scotland haven’t made it to the World Cup since 1998.
Now, just 90 minutes stand in the way of Steve Clarke‘s men from ending almost three decades of hurt.
Clarke has of course returned Scotland to the big stage with back-to-back qualifications for the Euros.
Now, a win over Denmark will officially seal a return to the global stage for Scotland and the Tartan Army.

A defeat to Greece on Saturday night looked all set to end our hopes of automatic qualification for next summer‘s showpiece but Denmark’s shock draw against Belarus has ensured the door remains open.
Beating Denmark won’t be easy but the objective is certainly a simple one – win.
A victory for Steve Clarke‘s men means a place at the World Cup but anything else means it’s the play-offs.
It really doesn’t get any bigger than this and a night of truly historic proportions could be in store.
