Steve Clarke has pleaded with world football’s governing bodies not to punish Scotland’ s players for Russia’s atrocities by hitting them with a six game fixture pile-up in June.
Clarke named a squad on Tuesday for two friendly matches which had to be arranged at the 11th hour after Vladimir Putin plunged the world into crisis by ordering his war machine into action.
Scotland’s semi-final play-off with Ukraine has also been rescheduled for June - with the winners then facing either Wales or Austria for a place at Qatar 2022.
