Scotland's World Cup play-off semi-final against Ukraine has been postponed.

The nations were set to meet at Hampden on 24 March but Ukraine requested that Fifa moves the tie back following Russia's invasion of the country.

As a result, the play-off final for the winners - against either Wales or Austria - will now also be delayed.

Discussions are under way for a new date, with the Nations League window in June the most likely option.

The World Cup finals take place from 21 November to 18 December.

What now for Scotland v Ukraine after delay confirmed?
A large contingent of recent squads selected by Ukraine have contained players from their homeland, with 15 out of the 23-man pool for November's World Cup qualifiers playing in their home leagues.

The sides are set to face each other in June on Nations League duty, with each side already scheduled to play four games during that break.

Speaking last week, Scottish FA president Rod Petrie offered his Ukrainian counterpart support as the nations held talks with Fifa over moving this month's tie.

"Football is inconsequential amid conflict," said Petrie.

"But we have conveyed the strong sense of solidarity communicated to us by Scotland fans and citizens in recent days.

"[The SFA] have offered to support our Ukrainian colleagues' preparations as best we can in these unimaginably difficult circumstances."

So also is Russia. Russia has a big issue with racisim, and not just against black people.

Infact many Eastern European countries plus the east of Germany have racisim issues and problems.

I wish I could share links of all the videos I've been watching but if I try am now Seun osewa and justwise them, go knack me ban. Videos made by British BBC, american CNN, german DW, french France 24, Qatari Al-Jazeera, and many more it's not as if these videos were by Russia's RT or Sputnik.

Also, these are documentaries that were made 2 years ago, 6 years ago and 9 years ago.
One of them even emphasized on the racism in the town of Lviv and even their football how teams refused to lodge in the city due to racist attacks on non White players even many fans didn't stay in the city because of this.

But na whoever CNN and BBC tell Nigerians to support Nigerians go support.
