No Win Game For Scotland

The Scotland football team doesn't usually generate much sympathy this side of the border in England but even we see that they are in an unwinnable match later tonight as they are playing Ukraine in a play-of for the right to play Wales and therefore in turn play us at the World Cup in Qatar.
Facing one of the home nations at the big festival of football in the desert makes the World Cup even more special so i am hoping that Scotland win and then whoever triumphs out of them or Wales, us English are guaranteed a British Isles match in November but it seems it is just Scots and the English (and probably Russians) hoping it is  Steve Clark's boys celebrating this evening because everyone and his dog wants Ukraine in the first competitive match they have been able to play since the declaration of war to qualify.
Scotland is the nation that has historically been bullied by a tyrannical neighbour but this time it is they who face the charge of  kicking a blind man’s stick away if they beat Ukraine who have had next to no preparation for the game and by all rights Ukraine should be in for a proper rogering and Clarke said that while he symapthises with the Ukrainian plight, 'We’re here to win a football game'.
Tonight's winner plays Wales in Cardiff on Sunday with the winner taking the last slot in the group with England, USA and Iran so it's 'ach aye the noo Scotland' and then 'Lan hogia cymra' so we can get some to some STUFF 'EM ENGLAND in November.
