SCOTLAND are two matches away from their first World Cup since 1998.
But they'll have to wait a little longer than other teams to know whether they have qualified or not.
That's because their play-off semi-final at home to Ukraine has been postponed due to the Russian invasion of the visitors' country.
When is Scotland vs Ukraine?
Scotland vs Ukraine was expected to take place in June.
Saturday, June 4 was thought the most likely date for the match, with the winner then playing the final on Tuesday, June 7.
However, Tartan Army boss Steve Clarke has stated that the match may not take place until September.
He commented: “Is that [a further delay] looking more and more likely given the situation on the ground?
“If you’re honest about the situation, then, yes.
“It’s difficult to see how we’ll be playing them in June. It’s not just about the fixture.
