Scotland manager Steve Clarke on the nature of the goals scored on Tuesday evening: “Scott McTominay scored the best overhead kick I’ve ever seen and it might not have been the best goal of the night!
“It was a lot of emotions. High and low. At times, you’re looking for solutions and thinking how to change it. I knew at some stage we’d have to go two up front.
“I felt the Danes were dominating us a little. It seemed like a good time [to make the changes]. Whether they were 10 or 11 [men], we were going to do that.
“I spoke to Kieran [Tierney] before the first game. He’s a key player for me, one of my men. I’ve got loads of them. 14 were involved in the play-off game.
“I said ‘listen, Aaron Hickey can’t do back-to-back games, I can see you coming on at right-back and doing very well for us’.
“I’m not sure I envisioned the goal… but when it was rolling back to him on his left foot, I knew he would score.
“When [Kenny] hit it, I thought ‘what are you doing?!’ but when I saw it in flight, I thought ‘that’s going to go in!'”
