Scotland captain Andy Robertson opens up on Ukraine "emotion" ahead of World Cup clash

Andy Robertson admits Scotland will have to set aside their sympathy for Ukraine momentarily when they play them in a crucial World Cup qualifier.

The Liverpool star will captain his country as they attempt to make the global event for the first time since 1998. Scotland host Ukraine at Hampden Park on Wednesday night, aiming to make the final round of qualifying, where Wales lie in wait. The winner of that game will then be paired in a group with England at the tournament later this year.

Ukraine's players, several of whom ply their trade in the Premier League, have been forced to deal with terrible situations away from football and the domestic game has continued to show its support for those facing the Russian invasion.
