The Danish boss is refusing to underestimate the Scots ahead of tonight’s crunch World Cup qualifier.

Clarke’s side have been struggling for form, having lost to Greece and Iceland at Hampden recently.

But Riemer watched the Scots beat Spain to qualify for Euro 2024 and that’s why he’s told his players to take nothing for granted.

Ahead of the huge Group C opener, he said: “In many ways, Scotland are a bit similar to Denmark in terms of being a nation that benefits from being a team.

“For Scotland, that’s a massive part of their culture and history.

“They work extremely hard for each other and for the team. I think they've shown that in qualification for the Euros.

“You just need to give them a little finger and they'll take the whole hand.

“For us, it has been quite important to actually see from their games against Spain and Norway - don’t ever underestimate Scotland.
