Scotland qualified for their first World Cup since 1998 after a dramatic 4-2 victory over Denmark at Hampden Park, sealed by stoppage-time goals from substitutes Kieran Tierney and Kenny McLean. Scott McTominay's spectacular third-minute overhead kick opened scoring before intense back-and-forth action. Rasmus Hojlund equalized from the penalty spot in the 57th minute, but Rasmus Kristensen's second yellow card reduced Denmark to 10 men. Lawrence Shankland restored Scotland's lead before Patrick Dorgu leveled again. In six added minutes, Tierney fired from 25 yards with McLean scoring from halfway line, topping Group C. Denmark's shocking 2-2 Belarus draw had given Scotland the automatic qualification lifeline. (PC: X)
