  1. Good night

    FT: Scotland 1-3 Ukraine

    That's all for tonight folks. Congratulations to Ukraine on a very accomplished performance. Astonishing really, given the horrendous circumstances.

    As far as Scotland go, we're back next week for a Nations League meeting with Armenia. A chance for Steve Clarke to experiment or for players to get tonight's disappointment out of their system?

  2. Scotland miss out once more

    FT: Scotland 1-3 Ukraine

    Scotland's long wait for a World Cup place goes on...

    Is it too early to say a winter tournament is rubbish anyway? Does an expanded competition in 2026 offer any hope?

    Things feel a bit bleak right now.

    There were a lot of below par performances tonight, with only Craig Gordon and Callum McGregor coming away with any credit.

  3. On to Cardiff for Ukraine...

    FT: Scotland 1-3 Ukraine

    Wales v Ukraine should be a cracker on Sunday. The winner will join England, USA and Iran in Group B at the World Cup.

    Will Ukraine have the energy to go again?

    Wales will be fresh after resting their main men this evening but they will need to be wary after watching Scotland getting taught a bit of a lesson at Hampden.

  4. 'Clarke comes up short'

    It will be steep leaning curve for Steve Clarke. It was his biggest test and he's come up short. He needs to go away look at what he could have done to influence the game. The players will do the same. The Nations League gives them the opportunity to get it out their system as quickly as they possibly can.

  5. 'We'll suffer together' - Clarke

    FT: Scotland 1-3 Ukraine

    Scotland boss Steve Clarke tells Sky Sports: "It's a disappointing night. You have to be honest, the best team on the night won.

    "I wish Ukraine luck in Cardiff, but you have to wish the Welsh luck as well. First half we didn't play enough, we didn't get the ball down.

    "I made the change at half-time and we didn't give ourselves the chance to utilise that.

    "John (McGinn) missed a big chance that would've given us half an hour to get back into the game. We chased it well, we tried as hard as we could.

    "Ukraine pressed us really well, especially Billy Gilmour and Callum McGregor. It become a little bit frantic. We did have some chances but we didn't take them on the night.

    "Now is a night to suffer, we'll suffer together. It's going to take at least 48 hours just to move on. When you lose a game of this magnitude it hurts. We will try build into the Nations League campaign."

  7. 'Scotland failed to test shaky goalkeeper'

    FT: Scotland 1-3 Ukraine

    Graeme Souness
    Former Scotland captain on Sky Sports

    Scotland should have been on top of the goalkeeper after the first goal went in. You have to get a result any way you can. I don't need a manager or coach to be shouting at me to tell me 'put it on top of the goalkeeper'. Players need to take responsibility.

  8. 'Scotland looked tired'

    Alan Hutton
    Former Scotland defender on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Sometimes you just get beat by the better team. Scotland looked tired, I thought it would be Ukraine that would tire.

  10. 'It's ended this way too many times' - Gordon

    FT: Scotland 1-3 Ukraine

    Scotland keeper Craig Gordon tells Sky Sports: "We worked so hard to get here for this one match... It's disappointing.

    "We didn't play our best, we can't hide behind that. We don't want to make any excuses. We still created chances but we didn't manage to get back into the game.

    "It's hard to take at the moment, there are a lot of disappointed guys in the dressing room. Most of the guys in there are young enough to go again.

    "It's ended this way too many times, especially for me personally."

  11. 'We let ourselves down' - Robertson

    FT: Scotland 1-3 Ukraine

    Scotland captain Andy Robertson tells Sky Sports: "We've waited a long time for this. Our performances before have been good but we didn't show up.

    "Ukraine settled into the game quicker and that continued. We gave ourselves too much of an uphill battle. We didn't play the way we wanted to and that's disappointing. It's passed us by.

    "We've let ourselves down. We have to hurt and we need to reflect. But we have to stick together, we know scrutiny will come our way. All we can say is sorry to the fans."

  12. 'Clarke got his team wrong'

    FT: Scotland 1-3 Ukraine

    Tom English
    BBC Scotland's chief sports writer on Sportsound

    3-1 isn't even close to being a fair reflection of it. Ukraine had so many chances in this game, they were by far and away the better side and they deserve to go into the final. It's beautiful moment for them and their fans. Scotland were lamentable for too long. It was going on 6-0. Steve Clarke got it wrong. He got his team wrong, he got his formation wrong.

  13. Nations League next for Scotland

    FT: Scotland 1-3 Ukraine

    While Ukraine move on to Cardiff, Scotland need to lick their wounds and prepare for three Nations League matches.

    There's a home game against Armenia next Wednesday, followed by a game with Republic of Ireland in Dublin and then a trip to Armenia.

    Buzzing for that? No, I didn't think so, although these games could be important for a place at the next Euros.

  14. 'Scotland were outclassed'

    FT: Scotland 1-3 Ukraine

    Leanne Crichton
    Ex-Scotland international on BBC Sportsound

    From start to finish, Scotland were reactive. The changes came far too late. What message does it send to your strikers on the bench watching your centre-half up top? Scotland were outclassed and Ukraine can be so proud of themselves.

  16. 'Sunday is massive for Ukraine'

    FT: Scotland 1-3 Ukraine

    Ukraine midfielder Oleksandr Zinchenko tells Sky Sports: "Every game for us now is like a final. We have one more and we need to win it - we need to take it or this won't mean anything.

    "We scored three goals, we could've scored even more. [Sunday] is going to be a massive game for us. We need to show the best performance of our lives."

  17. 'Scotland taught a lesson'

    FT: Scotland 1-3 Ukraine

    Willie Miller
    Former Scotland defender on BBC Sportsound

    We got a lesson in football tonight. I've not seen a Scotland team so outplayed in every department, with so many chances created against them. Craig Gordon did what Craig Gordon does. It could have been an embarrassing night for us, but I really enjoyed watching Ukraine. The shape was totally wrong right from the start. At the back, we were all over the place.

    Scotland needed to get into the game second half but they lost that goal and the plan was out the window again. They didn't play anywhere near their best.

  19. 'Truly special'

    FT: Scotland 1-3 Ukraine

    Alan Hutton
    Former Scotland defender on BBC Radio 5 Live

    This moment is amazing, it's truly special. What they're going through, what they're feeling now - and they fully deserve it. Well done Ukraine, they were outstanding.

  20. 'No complaints over result'

    FT: Scotland 1-3 Ukraine

    Craig Levein
    Former Scotland manager on BBC Sportsound

    Nobody could argue that wasn't the correct result. We spoke about Scotland's inadequacies in the first-half, but Ukraine played fantastically well. Craig Gordon made some unbelievable saves to keep Scotland in it. The system did change after that and it looked better, gave us an opportunity. But you're asking a lot to get back in the game from 2-0 down.
