Dyanmo Kyiv manager Mircea Lucescu believes Scotland should step aside and allow Ukraine free qualification to the World Cup.
Scotland are due to face the war-torn nation in June in the playoff semi after the original date last month was postponed until the summer. The winners of the tie will face Wales in the final in Cardiff.
Ukraine's players, manager and football association president have all lined up to insist they have no interest in football charity by being granted a bye to the finals in Qatar later this year.
