Ukraine players
Ukraine are bidding to reach their second men's World Cup finals

The World Cup play-off semi-final between Scotland and Ukraine has been delayed.

The nations were supposed to meet at Hampden on 24 March, but Ukraine requested that the tie be pushed back due to Russia's invasion of the country.

The play-off final for the winners against either Wales or Austria will be delayed.

The Nations League window in June is the most likely option for a new date.

The finals of the World Cup will take place in December.

  • What now for Scotland v Ukraine after delay confirmed?

15 of the 23 players in the World Cup qualification squad are from the home country of Ukraine.

Both sides will play each other in June on Nations League duty, with each side already scheduled to play four games.

The president of the Scottish FA offered his support to his counterpart in the Ukranian FA as they discussed moving the tie.

Football is unimportant amid conflict.

Scotland fans and citizens have communicated a strong sense of solidarity with us.

The SFA has offered to support our Ukrainian colleagues in these difficult circumstances.
