"Substitutes Kieran Tierney and Kenny McLean ensured they would go down in Scottish folklore after netting in second-half stoppage time. Denmark, who were reduced to 10 men midway through the second half, had twice fought back to level the scores at 2-2 before the late drama at Hampden Park. And McGinn felt Scotland's performance left a lot to be desired, not that he cares much."
"The gaffer's team talk was exceptional before we left the hotel. What we've been through together as players and staff is outstanding. It's a privilege every time we meet up - just humble guys wanting to do well for their country. You can see that every time we're on the pitch. A few wondergoals, but we're going to a World Cup. I can't believe it."
Scotland qualified for the World Cup for the first time since 1998 with a dramatic 4-2 win over Denmark at Hampden Park. Scott McTominay opened with an overhead kick, Rasmus Hojlund scored a penalty to level, and Denmark were reduced to 10 men when Rasmus Kristensen received a red card. Lawrence Shankland and Patrick Dorgu exchanged goals before substitutes Kieran Tierney and Kenny McLean struck in second-half stoppage time to seal victory. John McGinn described the performance as "pretty rubbish" but praised team unity and the manager's pre-match team talk.
