Scotland v Ukraine – World Cup Play-off Semi-final
- Date: Wednesday, 1 June, 2022
- Kick-off: 7.45pm, BST
- Venue: Hampden Park, Glasgow
- TV: Live on Sky Sports Main Event / Sky Sports Football
Scotland meet Ukraine at Hampden Park on Wednesday night in a World Cup play-off semi-final, with the victors travelling to face Wales for a place in the finals of World Cup 2022 in Qatar.
Scotland come into the game on the back of friendly draws at home to Poland and away to Austria in March. They are now undefeated in their last eight international matches as a result.
Ukraine’s preparation for this match has been severely disrupted by the Russian invasion of their country, with no domestic football taking place since the winter break in December and the national team’s build-up to this encounter consisting of friendly matches against European club sides.
Scotland are always given great backing on big international occasions at Hampden Park, but the Ukrainians will have a huge emotional incentive here too.
