Ryan Fraser's Scotland won't face Ukraine in March as World Cup play-off semi-final postponed

Scotland's World Cup play-off semi-final against Ukraine has been postponed. The nations were set to meet at Hampden Park on Thursday, March 24.

However, Ukraine requested to FIFA that they should move the game back following Russia's invasion of the country. The other tie between Wales and Austria has also been called off and discussions are underway for a new date, with the Nations League window in June the most likely date.

This means that Newcastle United winger Ryan Fraser will now not be in competitive action for Scotland in the upcoming international break. Steve Clarke's side haven't yet got a friendly arranged in case they qualified for the final at the Cardiff City Stadium, but could schedule one in the meantime.
