Scotland’s local heroes Grant Hanley and Lyndon Dykes suffered the bitter blow of World Cup defeat to Ukraine to end their hopes of making the Qatar finals.
And, to compound the dejection, former Queen of the South striker Dykes was substituted at
half-time to make way for Ryan Christie while Dumfries born defender Hanley suffered a cut above his eye in the closing stages of the 3-1 Hampden horror show.
The Scots were outplayed by Ukraine in the World Cup semi-final play off and there were few players who produced the goods on the night.
