Scotland hold Denmark to a hard-fought point | OneFootball

Scotland kicked off their World Cup qualifying campaign with a well-earned point against Denmark in Copenhagen.

When the full time whistle blew there were boos from the home fans at Parken, which shows just how well Steve Clarke's team played.

Indeed, it was a night of frustration for the Danes. Scotland had to resist a series of corners early on as the home side applied the pressure. Angus Gunn meanwhile remained solid at the back all game.

The visitors were trying to pick their moments with Ryan Christie just heading wide from John McGinn's cross before the break.

Perhaps Denmark coach Brian Riemer will be regretting not calling up former Manchester United midfielder Christian Eriksen, who is without a club but may well have been able to provide a moment of quality that could make the difference.

Speaking of former (or soon to be former) United players, Rasmus Højlund – now of Napoli – was brought on midway through the second half as Denmark continued to push but couldn't make the difference.

In the end, it was an excellent point for Scotland who next take on Belarus in Hungary while Denmark look to get their first win away to Greece.
