Kasper Schmeichel has endeared himself to Scottish football after taking a swipe at England's 'It's Coming Home' mantra.
Denmark face the Auld Enemy in tomorrow evening's second Euro 2020 semi-final after this evening's Spain vs Italy showpiece.
But the Leicester City goalkeeper was in no mood to hear the polarising phrase uttered during his pre-match press conference earlier today as his side prepare to do battle at Wembley.

Asked what it would mean for the Danes to 'stop it coming home,' a sarcastic Schmeichel responded: "Has it ever been home?"
After a slight chuckle the stopper continued: "I dunno, have you ever won it?" That was followed up by the journalist replying: "In '66 it was home," to which Schmeichel again posed the question: "Yeah, but was that not the World Cup?"
Schmeichel continued giggling when the reporter specified his meaning of winning a major tournament, but Scottish fans were delighted to see the Foxes star put the journo in his place.
One laughed: "Love Kasper, he defo has Scottish blood in him," while another added: "That's savage and I'm here for it."
One commented: "Can see him rolling his eyes as soon as they mentioned it's coming home," and a fourth said: "Well done, put them out and the world will celebrate with you."
England face the Danes tomorrow evening in an 8pm kick-off.Â
