DENMARK boss Brian Riemer has insisted he will accept no excuses if his players don't beat Scotland in their World Cup opening game and go on to win the group because they are better than Steve Clarke's side.
Scotland head to Copenhagen in three months to start their route to the Finals, which will be held in the USA, Canada and Mexico next year.

The Danes are playing Northern Ireland and Lithuania in friendlies next month at the same time as the Scots face Iceland and Liechtenstein.
And Riemer believes it would be a huge failure if they fail to qualify.
He said: "I'm not interested in wasting energy by making excuses about how difficult our opponents are in this group.
"We have to win the opening game and we have to win the group. That's it.
"Our team are better than Scotland. Our team are better than Greece. Our team are better than Belarus.
"There will be no excuses about the weather or anything like that. We have to win."And if we don't do that in the first game and go on and qualify, then it's not good enough."
