"Scotland beat Denmark 4-2 in an enthralling encounter at Hampden Park to clinch automatic qualification to football's greatest show for the first time since 1998. Scott McTominay set Steve Clarke's men on their way with a spectacular overhead kick inside the opening four minutes. The visitors hit back and deservedly levelled through Rasmus Hojlund's penalty before Brian Riemer's men were reduced to 10 men when Rasmus Kristensen received a second booking."
"Substitute Lawrence Shankland restored the lead for Scotland - who knew only victory would secure top spot in the group - but again they were pegged back when Patrick Dorgu fired in with nine minutes remaining. However, goals from Kieran Tierney and Kenny McLean in stoppage time ensured it would be one of Scotland's finest hours as the Tartan Army booked their place at next summer's showpiece event."
"I think I hid it well but today I've been in bits. I knew this was my last chance of going to the World Cup. I couldn't get my mate Diogo Jota out of my head today. We spoke so much about the World Cup. He missed out last time because of injury, I missed out because Scotland didn't qualify and we always discussed what it would be like. I know he'll be somewhere smiling over me tonight"

Lawrence Shankland restored Scotland's lead before Patrick Dorgu levelled with nine minutes remaining. Kieran Tierney and Kenny McLean scored in stoppage time to seal the win. Scotland captain Andy Robertson became emotional, saying he could not stop thinking of his late teammate Diogo Jota.
