Vogts remains positive

Malky Mackay enjoyed a good debut for Scotland

Scotland coach Berti Vogts was upbeat despite seeing his side go down 1-0 in Denmark - their fourth successive loss.

"We created lots of chances for an away game, but when you get these chances in international football you have to take them," said Vogts.

"All my players played with heart and emotion and that's what Scotland needs.

"We were well organised, especially in midfield and the defence, it was a big compliment for Malky Mackay, Steven Pressley and Christian Dailly."

Scotland skipper Christian Dailly is confident that results will come if the team continues to play with the same spirit they showed against Denmark.

The Scots lost 1-0 in Copenhagen but fought gamely against the side ranked 14th in the world.

"It's not an easy place to come but on another night we could have nicked a goal," Dailly told BBC Sport.

"There was a lot of commitment shown out there and if we keep battling like that then we'll start to get results."

Dailly played in front of a back four and, while the Danes were on top throughout the game, the home side found it hard to create many clear-cut chances.

"I thought the balance of the side was good and the size of the team looked good as well. We had a few big lads in the team and made life difficult for our opponents."

Gary Caldwell enjoyed a good match at right-back but the Hibs defender acknowledged that Scotland didn't pose much threat in attack.

Darren Fletcher saw his shot fizz inches wide of the post and James McFadden created a couple of openings, only to be denied by Danish keeper Thomas Sorensen.

But there was a lack of width in the Scottish team and Kevin Kyle failed to make much impression from the centre forward position.

"We didn't do enough going forward to give them (Denmark) problems," Caldwell told BBC Sport.

"But we had a good set-up at the back and looked pretty tight for most of the night."
