    DescriptionThe news that Poland will boycott their World Cup playoff against Russia came as little surprise yesterday.

    The game was due to have been played on March 24, the same day Ukraine are due to play Scotland in the competition and the SFA is in discussion with Uefa over that match and the women’s

    World Cup qualifier scheduled in Kyiv for April. Scotland has the opportunity to cement solidarity with Ukraine in the World Cup play-off at Hampden and, even as

    Russian troops massed on Ukraine’s borders, the team manager said he wanted the game to go ahead.
