    GOAL Scotland 2-0 Denmarkpublished at 86 mins

    Che Adams

    John McGinn to Stuart Armstrong to Che Adams - and the striker races clear before smashing his shot home.

    A lovely move and surely that's a home play-off semi in the bag.

    Scotland 1-0 Denmark

    Scotland are living dangerously as the the ball pings around in the penalty area before it falls to a forward in white. However, Uhre fails to make proper contact on the shot and Craig Gordon scoops it up.

    These types of substitutions can unsettle things. It's a tough environment to walk into knowing there is just a one goal difference. You just have to defend

    St Mirren fans will recognise the latest Denmark sub Anders Dreyer, who had a brief loan spell in Paisley. These days the winger is with Rubin Kazan in Russia.

    Alexander Bah is also on for the visitors.

  5. McKenna & Armstrong on for Scotlandpublished at 79 mins

    Scotland 1-0 Denmark

    A hobbling Andy Robertson hands the armband to John McGinn and on comes Scott McKenna. That will mean Kieran Tierney going to left-back / wing-back.

    There's a change in midfield too as Stuart Armstrong replaces Ryan Christie.

    Scotland 1-0 Denmark

    Scotland are flagging a bit now and giving the ball away far too cheaply. Steve Clarke needs to get his team up the pitch a bit more.

    A worry now as captain Andy Robertson hits the turf and it looks like his night is over.

  7. McLean on for Gilmourpublished at 74 mins

    Scotland 1-0 Denmark

    A change in midfield for Scotland as Billy Gilmour pulls up grimacing after playing a long pass and he is soon replaced by Kenny McLean.

    The bottom line is if Scotland get the win, they will be at home in the play-off semi-final.

    If it doesn't work out that way, then in the other games we're keeping an eye in Poland have equalised against Hungary.

    The worrying news though is Switzerland are currently top of Group C, which means Euro 2020 winners Italy - who are drawing with Northern Ireland - are heading for the play-offs. A frightening prospect.

    Cornelius is replaced by Brondby's Mikael Uhre as the Danes switch it up in attack.

    Scotland sitting deep, defending their own penalty area. Cornelius is up attacking a cross again but Kieran Tierney does enough to make life difficult for the big man.

    We have to compliment the referee, he has allowed it to flow. That's the kind of referee you want, not too officious.

    Scotland 1-0 Denmark

    Che Adams darts on to a lofted John McGinn cross, takes a touch, then slides a shot under the keeper only for it to slam against the post.

    And then the offside flag goes up!

    Again, very, very tight. Adams' leading arm was maybe off.

    Stephen O'Donnell finds Billy Gilmour with a throw-in and the Scotland midfielder spins to get a shot off. Plenty of power on it but it flies straight at the keeper.

    Scotland 1-0 Denmark

    Scotland's first corner of the second half - their ninth of the evening.

    Billy Gilmour fizzes it into the front post.

    Make that 10 corners to Scotland. Kasper Schmeichel gets a fist to this one and Denmark eventually clear.

    Scotland are being caught between a rock and a hard place, switching between three at the back to five, it looks almost confusing.

  16. Double change for Denmarkpublished at 56 mins

    Scotland 1-0 Denmark

    Jens Stage and Pione Sisto are on for the visitors, with Jens Jonsson and Jacub Bruun Larsen making way.

  17. GREAT SAVE!published at 54 mins

    Scotland 1-0 Denmark

    Cornelius is involved again and this time he must think he's scored as he powers a header on target, but Craig Gordon throws up an arm to make a terrific save.

    The offside flag then goes up but it was very tight and who knows which way VAR would have called it?

    Nothing to excite the fans in this second half yet but a tussle with Billy Gilmour and Andreas Cornelius gets a roar of approval from the home contingent, with the wee midfielder standing his ground, despite the Danish striker towering over him.
