World Cup qualifier: Denmark v Scotland – pick Steve Clarke’s team

It is not a stretch to suggest there is not a Scottish person under the age of 30 who remembers seeing the men’s national team play at a World Cup.

France ’98 – kilts, Brazil, Craig Burley’s teeth against Norway, and the Morocco debacle – might not feel all that long ago to some. But to others, it might as well have never happened.

And so here we are again, Scotland embarking on a World Cup qualifying campaign that could end what would be a 28-year wait to reach the finals.

Denmark, Greece and Belarus stand between Steve Clarke’s side and a place in the United States, Canada and Mexico next summer.

Win the group – six matches over the next two months – and they’ll be there. Finish second, and they still have a sniff through the play-offs.

With that in mind, how should Scotland play it? Imagine you were the head coach -what would your approach be?
