Mentioned this previously, very unfair for us, or Ukraine, having to play 2 critical games in 4 days when Wales can be fresh, even if they have a friendly when we play Ukraine.
They should have been playing their game against Austria the same night we play Ukraine.


It happens quite a lot. IE in the group stages there was 5 out of the 10 groups in the European area, that would have had the possibility of the same scenario. Because they only had 5 countries in their group.

Also, what if the rearranged Austria/Wales game got called off for whatever reason. Folk would have been moaning it should have been played on the original date.

Given the fact things are still up in the air with this fixture, surely it would make more sense to simply let Ukraine through to the WC adding them to one of the four team leagues and let Scotland and Wales fight it out for the official place. That way, should Ukraine be unable to fulfil their commitments, it would be a case reverting their league back to four. Even giving all the other teams a 3-0 victory.

Anyhow, back in the real world Ukraine will try, as difficult as it will be, to use the tragic war as motivation for this crunch game.

Ukraine's footballers say messages of encouragement from the front line have given them the determination to face Scotland in the delayed World Cup play-off semi-final at Hampden.

The squad has been forced to set up camp in Slovenia because of the ongoing war - having managed to leave their homeland amid the Russian invasion - and will play several friendlies before facing Scotland on 1 June.

You do know that the Scotland Supporters Group invited members to join in learning the Ukrainian National Anthem in order that they could join in before the game? I’m sure you do. As a member you would have received the email.

A wee taster tonight on BBC1, Scotland - The Passion of the Play-Offs.

A look back over play off history since 1961. 

Should be some great goals and players on view. :thumbs2

Enjoyed this, the team that lost to the Czech's in the 1961 World Cup play off, a bit before my time, was some team.

The Czech's went on to reach the Word Cup final, could have been us. 

It does reinforce what it means to thousands of Scotland supporters who put club rivalry to the side when supporting the national team.

Roll on next Wednesday.

But……just asking. Will you be there and have you learned the Ukrainian National Anthem ?
