The road to World Cup 2022 is short but also treacherous as our boys look to make it two tournaments in 18 months after a 21-year waiting game.
And Steve Clarke’s side have made a satisfactory start in Group F but sit four points behind Denmark and a defeat would make next week's trip to Vienna a must not lose in the race to finish second.
The Scotland national team face three huge ties over the next week or so with games against Moldova and Austria coming after the Danes.
Clarke’s squad has been rocked by Covid issues and injuries with the likes of John McGinn, Nathan Patterson and James Forrest missing for the first qualifier, with the manager admitting he has just 18 to choose from.
They'll all need to be on top form against a Denmark team which overcame the horror of Christian Eriksen's on-pitch cardiac arrest to reach the Euro 2020 semi-final.
