Scotland 1-3 Ukraine: Heroic visitors stun Scots to reach World Cup play-off final

Roman Yaremchuk's header just after the break gave Ukraine a two-goal lead and left Scotland with too much to do

While images of fans watching on in war-torn Ukraine circulated, 3,500 fans bedecked in light blue and yellow - including 65 orphans invited by the Scottish FA - celebrated wildly in Glasgow on a night none will forget.It was an evening which started with the lyrics of the Ukrainian national anthem striking an emotional chord at a charged Hampden.

It's been a gut-wrenching journey, with the tears on the face Oleksandr Zinchenko in Tuesday's pre-match news conference offering a poignant reminder to all what this game means against the backdrop of Ukraine's struggles. Steve Clarke shuffled his pack at half-time, throwing on Ryan Christie. But just four minutes after the restart, Scotland were again ripped open with ease.

Then came the moment when Scotland saw their world flash in front of them. John McGinn, the Tartan Army's darling, was gifted a header from six yards after Georgiy Bushchan flapped at a cross. With the goal at his mercy, the Aston Villa man headed wide. He looked on in disbelief.Scotland toiled, but with 11 minutes they were gifted a lifeline.
