Ukraine are the visitors to Hampden in the first of two matches which will decide Europe’s final participants in Qatar this November.

Scotland or Ukraine will progress through this evening’s play-off semi-final to face Wales, who overcame Austria in March and have awaited the winners of this delayed semi-final – postponed due to the conflict in Ukraine and ongoing Russian invasion. The winner on Sunday will head to the gulf state later this year and join in Group B with England, Iran and Team USA.

Hampden is a sell-out for the must-see match and The Scotsman will be in place to bring you all the build-up, live coverage, post-match reaction and key analysis from Scotland’s crucial qualifier on the road to Cardiff and Qatar.

79 - Over the line

Callum McGregor’s strike after Bushchman’s punch clear was tipped by the goalkeeper but he couldn’t keep it out and even the despairing lunge on the line is a fraction too late and it counts with the replays clearly showing the ball over the line.

Ten minutes to go. Yaremchuk has been substituted by Ukraine. Can they force extra-time?

80 - McGregor to the rescue again

Brilliant tracking back from Callum McGregor - scoring at one end and cutting up a counter-attack at the other - after an incisive through pass from Mudryk to Dovbyk but the Celtic captain sprinted back to poke the ball away for a corner.

90 - Added time

Four minutes of added time has been announced. Can Scotland force extra time in added time? They’ve scored late at the east end of Hampden before against Israel....

Corner Scotland

Che Adams forces a corner, swung in by McGinn but headed wide by Hanley - who is cut in the process.

Three minutes to go...

GOAL!

And there’s a goal in added time - but not at the end Hampden was hoping for.

Ukraine cut Scotland off as the home side presses for the equaliser and Dobryv tucks away a Zinchenko through ball for a third on the counter attack.
