Team’s Up – Uninspiring lineup for Scotland against Denmark as Celtic duo withdraw | OneFootball

Scotland manager Steve Clarke has named his team for this evening’s World Cup qualifier against Denmark in Copenhagen. It is fair to say that it is a somewhat underwhelming team selection from the ex-West Brom manager as Ben Gannon-Doak and Kieron Bowie start from the bench.

In truth, the manager has not been helped by the withdrawals of Celtic duo Tony Ralston and Kieran Tierney, who have picked up minor injuries recently. Although, the lineup indicates that Scotland will be looking to frustrate the Danes rather than hitting them on the break.

Angus Gunn starts in goals. Grant Hanley of Hibs starts alongside John Souttar with Andy Robertson and Aaron Hickey in the full back berths.

A midfield four of Lewis Ferguson, Scott McTominay, John McGinn and Ryan Christie starts.

In attack, Che Adams attacks with Lyndon Dykes.

Scotland: Gunn, Hickey, Hanley, Souttar, Robertson, Ferguson, McTominay, McGinn, Christie, Adams, Dykes.

Subs: Kelly, Clark, Doig, Gilmour, Hendry, Miller, McKenna, Gannon-Doak, Hirst, Bowie, Johnston, McLean.

Elsewhere, the Danish team is as follows:

Schmeichel, Kristensen, Andersen, Christensen, Mæhle, Dreyer, Højbjerg, Hjulmand, Damsgaard, Dolberg, Biereth.

Subs: Hermansen, Jørgensen, Vestergaard, Høgsberg, O’Riley, Osula, Højlund, Grønbæk, Skov Olsen, Froholdt, Dorgu, Gaaei.
