Team : Scotland vs Denmark
Competition : International Friendly
| Scotland | 2 - 1 | Denmark |
|---|---|---|
| William Kvist (og 23') | ||
| Christian Eriksen (31') | ||
| Robert Snodgrass (44') |
Robert Snodgrass grabbed his maiden international goal as Scotland claimed their first victory over Denmark since 1975 in tonight's friendly at Hampden.
A Charlie Adam free-kick was deflected into own net by William Kvist Jorgensen for the opening goal before Christian Eriksen netted for the Danes.
But it was Snodgrass who had the final say against a nation who had prevented the Scots from scoring in their last five meetings.
The victory proved to be the perfect dress rehearsal for Craig Levein's men as they prepare to host both the Czech Republic and Lithuania in a crucial Euro 2012 qualifying double-header at the same venue next month.
Leeds winger Snodgrass earned his first start having previously made two substitute appearances and, before the match kicked off, Scott Brown received a silver medal to mark his 25th cap for the national team.
Kenny Miller was tasked with providing the goals as the lone striker in a 4-5-1 formation, while Nicolai Boilesen made his debut for the Danes.
A relentless downpour all day had no doubt contributed to a smaller than usual crowd of 17,582.
