Just when Ukraine thought they had dealt with everything that could possibly be thrown at them.
Just when it seemed the spirit which has carried their nation through unspeakable horrors was about to break the sporting resolve of Scotland for a second time in four months. Just when Steve Clarke and his players were running out of ways to dismantle their defences.
John McGinn resorted to the very last resort available. And he brought them down with his BUM. McGinn’s trademark turn might be a throwback to the days of Kenny Dalglish but Ukraine didn’t see it coming and when it did, it reduced them to pieces as the skipper fired home a vital opening goal with time fast running out. Two late goals from sub Lyndon Dykes made it look comfortable on the night. But this was a win which Scotland could not have more richly deserved, given the performances all over the pitch.
