The Danes have already sealed automatic qualification to the 2022 Qatar World Cup having won eight games out of eight.

But Scotland sit second in the group and are four points ahead of third-placed Israel, putting them within touching distance of sealing their spot in the play-offs stage.

Victory against Moldova would secure their place in the play-offs which would take place next March.
