Captain Andy Robertson hopes his 90th Scotland cap will be his "most memorable" yet, although he admits he's not allowing himself to think about leading his country out at a World Cup just yet.
"The fact is it will be my 90th cap, which is a huge honour for me and my family. It's massive," he said before Tuesday's decisive World Cup qualifier with Denmark at Hampden.
"I couldn't even imagine that when I was younger or even when I made my debut. It's nice that it goes along with a pretty big game as well.
"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."
Scotland 'good enough' to qualify, says Clarke
The reality behind Scotland's 28-year World Cup wait
Will Lady Luck, Danish doubts and Hampden noise favour Scotland?
"I've been very lucky to play in, you know, Champions League finals. I've been very lucky to win trophies and things like that. But the one thing I've probably been good at throughout my career is I've never thought about it until it actually happened."
Scotland can only secure a place at next summer's finals with a win over the Danes and Robertson says the squad is "feeling good", while he is excited rather than overly nervous.
"We need to focus on the task at hand," he explained. "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.
"That's where our full focus has got to be for the next 24 hours. We're now on the eve of it. One more sleep away and I think we're all excited.
"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 tomorrow night as well. And I hope that the boys will be."
Despite Denmark's slip-up against Belarus on Saturday - a 2-2 draw in Copenhagen - Robertson says they're a team "full of quality."
"It's always tough against them and we need to bring the best version of ourselves," said the left-back. "And if we do that as a team, then we believe that we can get the result that we need.
"If we perform the way I believe we can perform and the way we've shown at times, maybe not for a full 90 minutes, but we've definitely showed that over periods of time in this campaign, then I believe we've got enough to get the win."
Robertson acknowledges Denmark will be feeling exactly the same. They are sitting on the top of the group on 11 points and know a draw at Hampden will be good enough to see them through as group winners.
But Robertson hopes his "dreams" of playing for Scotland reach a peak on Tuesday night, with the help of a packed and passionate Hampden.
"I hope the supporters get in early, make a noise, support your team and get right behind us because that's what we need," he added.
Team news

Match statistics
Scotland have lost just one of their past five matches against Denmark, winning three, having lost five in a row beforehand between 1986 and 2004.
Denmark have lost seven of their nine away matches against Scotland (winning two), including the past three in a row. Their two wins were 1-0 victories in friendlies in March 1998 and August 2002, meaning they have lost all four competitive visits.
Scotland have won 10 of their past 14 home World Cup qualifiers, including winning six of their past seven, losing just once.
Victory for Scotland will mean they qualify for their first World Cup finals since 1998.
Denmark have won 10 of their past 11 away World Cup qualifiers, winning seven of those games without conceding a goal, with Scotland being the only side to beat them, 2-0 in November 2021.

Left-back Andy Robertson has created the most chances (10) for Scotland in World Cup 2026 qualification, assisting in his past two – the last player to assist in three straight competitive outings for the Scots was Ryan Fraser between November 2018 and March 2019.
Denmark striker Rasmus Hojlund (with four) is the only player to have scored more goals in Group C of World Cup 2026 qualification than Denmark team-mate Mikkel Damsgaard (three), who has scored in three of his past four international appearances after going 25 straight outings without netting.
