BEN GANNON-DOAK says Scotland must “boot the door down” to beat Denmark at Hampden.
Steve Clarke‘s men will qualify for next summer’s World Cup by winning their final group game tomorrow night.
The Danes’ shock draw with Belarus has set up an incredible Group C winner-takes-all showdown.
And kid Gannon-Doak, 20, has urged his team-mates to grab glory in front of a packed 50,000 crowd.
He said: “The door is not going to open itself, we need to go and BOOT the door down.
“Hopefully we are able to do that.

“If we can go and make things happen, if we work our socks off, we can do it. We are more than capable.
“I have got that self-belief – not just in myself, in the squad as well. The players we have got are unbelievable.
“We have more than enough talent and more than enough experience. It is just about mixing that all together now.
“We can take encouragement from the previous result in Denmark.
“Obviously, they are a very good side as well. They will be kicking themselves about their result as well, but we can take advantage of that and hopefully go and qualify.
“Before this campaign, we would have taken the position we are in, needing to win to qualify. But we need to work on the negatives.
“Obviously we don’t want to get too carried away.
“We have some things that we can improve on.
“But we definitely have a lot more positives than we did last month. I thought we played really well in spells against Greece and had them under the cosh.
“I think if we can take the best parts of last night into Tuesday then we can give ourselves the best chance.
“I think as a team we need to stay calm.
“Obviously early on in the game it is tough to get the ball down and play. You just want to focus on not conceding.
“But if we can find the right balance, not make silly decisions, get the ball down and play, we will give ourselves the best chance.
“The lads know how big an occasion it is. But we have plenty of experience in this squad, guys who have played in bigger games than the one coming up.
“We know what we need to do, we know how big this is for the fans, for us. We will go there and hope that things go our way.”
Bournemouth’s Gannon-Doak scored his first Scotland goal in the 3-2 defeat but doesn’t care who hits the net at Hampden.
He added: “I was delighted, it was a great moment for me and my family.
“Thank you God.
“But, listen, I would rather play rubbish and win. That is the way I have always been.
“If I have a stinker and we qualify, who cares?
“I just want to get it done. It is a dream come true playing in the World Cup. I have never seen Scotland in it obviously.
