THE Stadion Miejski in Rzeszow, a Polish city near the border with Ukraine, is the unlikely venue for Scotland's penultimate World Cup qualifier on Friday. Three points will all but guarantee second place in Group B and a place in October's play-offs.
On a footballing level it's clearly a very significant game, but emotionally it is far more meaningful for a Ukraine side who will remain as hosts despite the neutral venue. The players, who are now scattered at clubs in 15 different European countries, were reunited on Tuesday for the first time since February – and will remain in Rzeszow until June 28, when they play a further qualifier against Hungary.
