Scotland Secures Disciplined 0-0 Draw in Denmark World Cup Qualifier

Scotland began their World Cup qualifying campaign with a disciplined 0-0 draw away at Denmark, a strong result given Denmark's status as group favorites. Head coach Steve Clarke praised the team's defensive performance, particularly highlighting the efforts of defenders John Souttar, Grant Hanley, and the returning Aaron Hickey, who showed resilience after a tough injury spell. Midfielder McGinn emphasized the team's improved game management and the importance of maintaining focus as they prepare for their next match against Belarus. Clarke also noted that changes to the starting lineup are expected to manage player fitness and form across the qualifying fixtures. Despite Denmark's strong international record and home advantage, Scotland's solid defensive display and tactical discipline under Clarke have given them a promising start. The team aims to build on this foundation as they seek to qualify for the World Cup for the first time since 1998.
