The full draw recently concluded in Zurich and I don't think Scottish fans can be too disappointed with this draw even though it will be tough in Group F:-

Denmark, Austria, Israel, Faeroe Islands and Moldova

The biggest "jaw dropper" has to be being drawn v Israel AGAIN????? Spooky!!!

Otherwise lotsa these fixtures are winnable for the guys and Steve Clarke may have a good number of better players to add to his squad by the time the fixtures begin.
BRING IT ON!
This group I think presents you with the best chance you have had in a while to qualify. Managing to avoid all of the bigger teams is a bonus, you could challenge for top spot in this group and certainly should be targeting top two. Never easy of course but I can't see there being a runaway leader in this group.
The big question has to be "Will we score enough goals against the 'minnows'?" Get the goals and we could qualify.
Austria are a decent outfit btw, and id imagine Denmark will be too strong for us.

Faroe Islands still brings back nightmares for me...
Also don't forget that embarrassing defeat by a "flat" Scotland team in Moldova Jim
Note my OP title: .......Scotland have a decent chance! After observing the Euro 2020 performances by Austria and Denmark, I must say that view has changed dramatically - I don't think we have an earthly against Austria or Denmark if they perform to this high standard. I think we should prob be evolving this Scotland team positively towards the next World Cup tourney in Germany. It becomes more n more apparent how much of a f### up by Scotland when they were one result off a back door entry to Quatar 2022 - another massive disappointment when so close to doing it and of course celebrating too early after qualifying for Euro 2020 v Serbia when that target should've been seriously taken on.
