Scotland Seeks World Cup Glory After 28-Year Absence, Clarke Says Win in Denmark Will Secure Spot
Steve Clarke has urged Scotland to "anticipate success" and drive the Tartan Army towards a long-awaited World Cup appearance. A victory against Denmark will secure their spot at next summer's tournament after a 28-year absence.
The final qualifying match at Hampden Park presents Scotland with an opportunity to seal their fate, given that a draw or win would guarantee their place in North America alongside the other 11 group winners. However, Clarke is determined to instill confidence among his players, urging them to "play with anticipation of success and not fear of failure."
In contrast to previous home games where some fans were booed at half-time, Clarke wants Hampden's crowd to provide positive backing for their team. A resounding win would help Scotland overcome the setbacks suffered in recent matches.
Clarke believes that a strong performance by Scotland will inspire each other as well as the fans, ultimately leading to something special for this group of players.
