Scotland fans applaud Ukraine supporters into pub after World Cup play-off

Scottish supporters were filmed applauding Ukrainian fans into a pub after Wednesday night's World Cup semi-final play off at Hampden Park.

The video, which was captured by Radio Clyde News, shows a group of Ukrainian fans receiving a standing ovation as they make their way into 'The Clockwork Bar' in Glasgow.

Scottish fans showed their support of Ukraine throughout the night. Before kick-off, the Ukraine players received a rousing reception as they made their way onto the field, each draped in the blue and yellow flag of Ukraine.

'The Tartan Army' then joined in an emotional rendition of the Ukrainian National anthem "Ukraine has not yet died", while Scottish Pipers also played along. After the final whistle, the Ukrainian players were applauded off the pitch.

Goals from Andriy Yarmolenko, Roman Yeremchuk and Artem Dovbyk gave Ukraine a 3-1 victory over Scotland. Ukraine face Wales in the play-off final on Sunday, and are just 90 minutes away from securing a place in this year's Qatar World Cup.

While Scotland will be disappointed, it will be hard not to feel happy for Ukraine given everything that has happened to the country this year. The Tartan Army put this disappointment aside and showed their true class last night.
