Not impossible by any means, but it looks really unlikely.

We don’t need to win, however would need to beat Denmark at home if Austria beat Israel twice. Potentially not as difficult at the end of a campaign.

Yes we can, they’re nothing special and we gave them too much respect in the last game. Can we beat them? Absolutely, will we beat them???

Are folk also perhaps underestimating Denmark? Just the 14 goals for and 0 against in their 3 games so far.

If Denmark are already comfortably qualified as top of the group they might be less arsed by the time we play them at Hampden.

Has playing for a draw ever worked for us? 

Is there a history of the top seeds losing their last game, even if they have qualified?

I know it’s mentioned every time, but how fucking bad is McBurnie? Seriously. He couldn’t have had a better opportunity to get some shots in/a goal against a shattered Faroe Islands defence and he’s done heehaw, again. Get him binned for good.

Oh don't get me wrong, I don't think we will, but although it's only 10 games, the way the games are spread out it's a long campaign, even in this shortened state.  Over five months until we next play (in Denmark unfortunately) before Moldova at home, then off to Vienna.  Anything could happen by then.  Tierney could maim himself, McBurnie could have some kind of epiphany.  

Next window will tell us.  If we end up with three points from Denmark, Moldova and Austria, it's over, albeit not mathematically.  We could end up with nine.  We won't, but we could.

It would be very Scotland to get a shock win against Denmark and get beat by Moldova.

Flashbacks from a few campaigns ago

We beat top seeds Croatia home & away

Lost to bottom seeds Wales home & away

We will shite it and play negative. We'll give them far too much respect and space.

To be fair though, Wales were an artificial bottom seed, and much harder than what we could have got.  Albeit we should have beat them both times.

No one said anything about playing for a draw....

I have no idea, but a packed Hampden against an already qualified side would help. Not hugely likely though.

Think you might get your wish.

We'll have the confidence of being reigning European champions.
