Steve Clarke’s Scotland will play Denmark and Austria in Group F on the road to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

The Tartan Army will also face Israel, Faroe Islands and Moldova.

Historically Scotland hold a superior record to Denmark, winning 10 of their 16 games, while losing six times.

Though Austria have had the better of the Scots over 20 games, winning eight games and drawing six times.

Scotland qualified for Euro 2020 after a dramatic penalty shoot-out victory in a play-off against Serbia last month. 

The win ended 22 years of hurt and now sees Scotland in an optimistic mood heading into the next World Cup cycle and the road to Qatar.
