Scotland is two games away from qualifying for the World Cup for the first time since 1998.
They also know that if they qualify, they would meet England in the group stage of the competition for the second time.
However, a clash with the Auld Enemy may pale in compared to the motivations that the Ukrainian players have as a result of Russia’s invasion of their nation.
Regardless of who wins this play-off semi-final, the winner will face Wales in Cardiff on Sunday.
Date, kick-off time and venue
Scotland vs Ukraine will take place on Wednesday, June 1.
The clash will be held at Hampden Park in Glasgow, Scotland.
The game will kick-off at 7.45pm Nigerian time.
How to watch Scotland vs Ukraine
Sky Sports hold the rights to World Cup qualifiers and will show the match on Sky Sports Football.
Team news
Despite playing in Liverpool’s Champions League final defeat to Real Madrid on Saturday, captain Andy Robertson is expected to play the whole 90 minutes.
However, Arsenal’s Kierney and Rangers’ Ryan Jack have both been ruled out due to injury.
As Steve Clarke stated last week, Nathan Patterson is questionable for the game.
“His return to play is imminent and it will just come down to match fitness. I would put him down as doubtful for the Ukraine game.”
The team includes Liam Cooper and Aaron Hickey of Bologna.
There are no fresh injury concerns for Ukraine, and Premier League stalwarts Andriy Yarmolenko, Oleksandr Zinchenko, and Vitaliy Mykolenko are all expected to play.
