You are Scotland boss Steve Clarke… What would you do against Denmark?

With regular first choice Angus Gunn injured, veteran goalkeeper Craig Gordon lined up in Greece, despite not featuring for Hearts so far this season.

The 42-year-old made some important saves but admitted himself he was disappointed with the concession of the third goal in Piraeus. Should he keep his place or make way for Falkirk regular Scott Bain or Rangers back-up Liam Kelly.

Billy Gilmour was ruled out of the Greece match but assistant coach Steven Naismith hinted last week the Napoli midfielder could be fit in time for the final qualifier. If so, does he get the nod? And who drops out?

Scotland’s performance against Greece improved dramatically in the final 25 minutes as they reduced a three-goal deficit. A raft of substitutes were involved in that late push, including forwards Lyndon Dykes, George Hirst and Lawrence Shankland. Which, if any of that trio, are candidates for a starting place on Tuesday?
