IT all comes down to this.
Scotland are just 90 minutes away from clinching a spot in next year’s World Cup for the first time since 1998.
Their fate will be settled with a do-or-die clash with current Group C leaders Denmark.
A win will seal automatic qualification for the Tartan Army, but anything else will mean the play-offs beckon.
Steve Clarke‘s men held the Danes to a goalless draw in Copenhagen – can they do one better in Glasgow or will it be the visitors celebrating a return to football‘s biggest stage.
SunSport writers have had their say on the the monumental showdown at the national stadium.

Steve Clarke’s side will lose unless they raise their game significantly.
But I believe they’ll produce the performance of their lives to win.
Scott McTominay showed glimpses of his old self in the second half against Greece and this is a showdown he should relish.
The likes of Craig Gordon, John McGinn and Andy Robertson know this is their last chance of playing at a World Cup and I expect them to reach out and grab it with both hands.
The worry is in defence which is why I think it’s certain Denmark will score.
But this is set up to be one of the best epic nights at Hampden and the Tartan Army can play their part by roaring Scotland to next summer’s finals.
GARETH LAW
Scotland 2 Denmark 2
Both countries dropped points on Saturday but if Scotland had won in Greece then a draw at Hampden would have been enough for automatic qualification.
Denmark have netted almost twice as many goals on the road as they have at home in this qualifying campaign.
While I hope Scotland have enough in the tank to get that historic victory, their defensive displays leave me to fear they will come up agonisingly close again.

It’s going to be excruciatingly tense and, I think, an outcome that will still be in the balance right to the nerve-shredding end.
But at full-time I’m convinced we’ll be wildly celebrating a place at the World Cup.
I felt before the Greece game it was written and how things unfolded on the night has merely cemented that belief.
C’mon Scotland!
ROGER HANNAH
Scotland 2 Denmark 1
The Danes have lost on their last three visits to Hampden.
They’re shattered after failing to beat Belarus to grab a passport to the finals.
They might even have dodgy tummies after a sickness bug swept the camp.
If Scotland had been offered this scenario when Group C kicked off, they’d gladly have accepted it.
And with the likes of Italy, Turkey, Poland and Ukraine as potential play-off final opponents, this may be Scotland’s best chance.
We CAN win it and create history. How about Scott McTominay to bag a late winner and make Hampden roar.
ROBERT MARTIN
Scotland 2 Denmark 0
It’s fair to say I didn’t have this scoreline in mind after 63 minutes of Saturday’s game in Piraeus.
But you know what? I’m now convinced Scotland are going to the World Cup.
I caught the last 10 minutes of Denmark’s game with Belarus and the Danes looked shellshocked, they knew they had blown their big chance.
Now they’re coming to Hampden on a downer.
Scotland, in contrast, finished strongly in Greece. If they can start the same way here then top spot in Group C is totally within their grasp.
BEN RAMAGE
Scotland 2 Denmark 0
No one is quite sure how we’re even still alive in this group.
But after so many failed World Cup qualifying attempts, it feels like we’re destined to make it this time around.
The only thing that could stop us is Steve Clarke stubbornly sticking to a few of his tried and trusted troops.
But after their shocking performances against Greece, the likes of Grant Hanley and Che Adams will surely start on the bench at Hampden.
