Scotland will top Group B1 with two games to play if they beat Ukraine at Hampden Park on Wednesday.
Steve Clarke’s side are currently one point behind their next opponents in the race for promotion to League A. They started their campaign with a 2-0 victory against Armenia, before a 3-0 loss against the Republic of Ireland in Dublin does not dampen the mood. Hamden. But Scotland bounced back from that setback to beat Armenia 4-1 on the road, leaving them in contention for top spot in the group.
There is still a lot of work to do, however. Scotland have a double-header with Ukraine next week and they also need to sneak into a home game against Ireland. And while Clarke and his proteges will be aiming for top spot, Scotland are not yet mathematically safe from relegation to League C. There is still everything to play for in Group B1.
Ukraine are in pole position to win promotion after picking up seven points from the first nine available. They beat Ireland 1-0 in their 2022/23 Nations League opener, before earning a 3-0 win at home to Armenia. A 1-1 draw with Ireland in their last meeting means Oleksandr Petrakov’s side are favorites to finish top, despite having to play their home games in Poland following the invasion of Ukraine by Russia.
Newcastle (opens in a new tab) winger Ryan Fraser has been recalled to the Scotland squad for the next internationals, while Kieran Tierney is also back through injury. However, star man Andy Robertson is sidelined after injuring his knee.
Ukraine have been dealt a blow with Oleksandr Zinchenko ruled out of the September internationals through injury. Mykola Shaparenko, Denys Harmash, Denys Popov and Artem Besedin also failed to qualify, but Andriy Yarmolenko, Roman Yaremchuk and Ruslan Malinovskyi are among the most prominent names.

VPN Guide
If you’re out of the country for a series of Premier League matches, unfortunately your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are thanks to your IP address (boo!). You won’t be able to watch it, which isn’t ideal if you’ve paid for a subscription and still want to follow the action without resorting to the illegal streams you’ve found on Reddit.
But help is at hand. To get around this, all you need to do is get a virtual private network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and the internet, which means the service can’t determine where you are and won’t automatically block the service you paid for. All information in between is fully encrypted – and that’s a result.
