Scotland is set to play Ukraine in its bid to qualify for the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
The highly-anticipated match was put on hold back in February when Ukraine’s football authorities requested to postpone the game following Russia's invasion of the country.
Instead, the Scottish team played Poland in a friendly fundraising match for Ukraine, supporting their World Cup play-off opponents.
The Scottish Football Association announced that £10 from each ticket would go to UNICEF’s humanitarian response effort from the game.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
