Scotland's next match in Turkey is in serious doubt at the proposed venue of Diyarbakır after a match there was halted when fans threw knives at the players and chanted terrorist slogans. Steve Clarke's side won promotion this week in the Nations League to the top flight after a hard-fought goalless draw in Poland against Ukraine.
Their last game of 2022 was scheduled to be in November at the Kurdish stronghold city of Diyarbakır., which was set to hold its first ever international match, after tensions in the city between Kurdish separatist groups and government forces eased recently.
Both Turkey manager Stefan Kuntz and Turkish FA president Mehmet Buyukeksi had confirmed the game would be played in the southern city. However, a riot at a second division weekend game in the city has cast serious doubt on the game against Scotland going ahead there.
