Scotland handed lowly Denmark allocation as thousands of Tartan Army to miss out

And the SFA have been allocated just 1,740 tickets for the opening game at the 51,000-capacity Parken Stadium at £47 each.

It means thousands of Tartan Army fans will miss out on the showdown after the Danes offered the paltry allocation for the game.

It's the latest blow for Scotland supporters after UEFA confirmed last month that the next game against Belarus will be played in the neutral venue of the western Hungarian outpost of Zalaegerszeg.

And the game will be played behind closed doors due to sanctions taken against Belarus three years ago by European football's governing body because of their support of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
