After six days off we are back to see this dynasty through to its inevitable conclusion: Scotland being eliminated. But will it happen in the qualifying stage, or in Russia 2018?
A vital game against Ukraine, who lie just one point behind us in third place.
GK - Marshall
DEF - Wallace, Grimmer, Wilson, Hanley
MID - McArthur, Kennedy, Snodgrass, Fleck
FOR - S.Fletcher, Watt
2 - Ukraine 1-0 (Lavrynenko)
59 - Phillips replaces Kennedy, Palmer replaces McArthur
75 - Tied 1-1 (Fleck)
84 - Ukraine 2-1 (Garmash)
We blow an opportunity right on fulltime to draw level, and Ukraine leapfrogs us into second place. That makes the next game against Armenia doubly important now.
GK - Marshall
DEF - Fox, O'Donnell, Hanley, Martin
MID - Ness, McArthur, Fleck
FOR - May, Rhodes, O'Halloran
74 - Rhodes replaces O'Halloran, Grimmer replaces Hanley
An extremely poor result! 0-0 will not do our chances of qualification any good at all!
