Ukraine won the first meeting between the two teams 2-0 in 2006, with their talismanic captain Andriy Shevchenko sealing the victory after Olexander Kucher scored the opening goal. 
Scotland hit back in the reverse fixture in Glasgow, with Kenny Miller, Lee McCulloch and James McFadden all in goal in a famous 3-1 win at a raucous Hampden Park. 

In what will be an absorbing and emotionally charged occasion, the Scots are full of confidence and unbeaten in their last 8 games, although the visitors have fond memories of Glasgow after winning their Euro 2020 Round of 16 match against Sweden at Hampden last summer.

The original match was due to take place on March 24 before it was postponed, and Scotland played Poland in a friendly, with the match raising £500,000 for UNICEF's humanitarian response in Ukraine.

To be confirmed.

The Ukrainian national team is not going through a great moment in the emotional state since their country is in an international conflict, however the players in the selection could give their country a joy in case of advancing to the next round, the illusion is still present in the selection and they must demonstrate that they are a strong team because sharing a group with France and not losing any game of the 10 played is not an easy job, Ukraine has in its squad great players who play in great teams and without any problem could surprise in the World Cup, but still thinking about the World Cup is too early, since in case of beating Scotland, they will have to face Wales which is a similar team with great players.

The selection of Scotland shared group D with two very complicated teams, Denmark and Austria, the selection of Denmark led the group with 27 points getting 9 wins and only one loss on the last day, the selection of Austria did not have a good qualifying round and Scotland took advantage of that to stay in second place with 23 points, after only one loss in the qualifying round, the Scottish team can say that they had a great qualifying round, because they are still playing for the ticket, it will not be easy to beat their rivals in search of a ticket to the World Cup, however Scotland has already shown that they can compete with teams of higher hierarchy.

Scotland and Ukraine are playing for the last UEFA ticket to qualify for the World Cup, after being postponed due to off-field problems, this Wednesday two good teams that finished in second place in their groups will face each other in search of reaching the defining match against Wales, the match will be very tense as it will be all or nothing.

Good afternoon to all VAVEL readers! Welcome to the live coverage of Scotland vs Ukraine, a UEFA qualifier. The match will take place at Hampden Park at 13:45.
