Scotland v Denmark: How to watch crucial World Cup qualifying match on TV, when is kick-off and does it clash with I'm A Celeb?

Scotland and Denmark face a one-on-one shootout to qualify for next year’s World Cup.

The European qualifiers for the 2026 tournament will conclude tonight (November 18) and although most group results are all wrapped up, group C is still wide open.

Denmark currently top the group on 11 points, while Scotland are in second on 10 points - and with three points up for grabs, it’s all to play for at Hampden Park.

Whoever finishes in first will secure automatic qualification, while second place must battle through play-offs for a place in the competition.

Scotland captain Andy Robertson said: “I'm looking forward to it and I hope that my 90th cap will be the most memorable. I hope that as a squad it's one of the most memorable games for all of us and that's what we all dream of.

“We need to think about how we're going to stop a really good team and also how we're going to try and cause some problems.

“Obviously, we've got a chance to qualify for the World Cup, which you can't play down. But yeah, we've got to be ready to perform as well - and I hope that the boys will be.”

Here’s everything you need to know about tonight’s game - and how to watch it on TV.

How to watch Scotland v Denmark

Unlike England’s qualifying matches - which were broadcast by ITV - Scotland v Denmark will be brought to our screens by the BBC.

The match will be available on BBC Scotland, BBC 2 and iPlayer from 7.15pm, presented by Jonathan Sutherland and Match of the Day host Kelly Cates.

They will be joined by Neil McCann, Leanne Crichton, Stephen O'Donnell and Peter Lovenkrands, with Liam McLeod, James McFadden and Steven Thompson on commentary duties.

What time is kick-off?

Kick-off is at 7.45pm.

Does Scotland v Denmark clash with I’m A Celeb?

One of the reasons ITV isn’t broadcasting tonight’s match is to have a clear run with I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, which started last weekend.

With the game starting in the evening, the second half will still be going on when I’m A Celeb starts at 9pm.

Fortunately, on-demand TV means you can start watching the show after the game at your leisure - and as a group game, there will be no extra time or penalty shoot-out to contend with if it ends in a draw.
