I’m sure there’s only time for 4 games in June. If they’re going to play the playoffs in June then I expect some of the UNL fixtures to be pushed back. 

You're of course correct.  If we can play Ukraine in the playoff, goodness knows when we can fit in the remaining UNL match later in the year.  

If we can play Ukraine for the playoff, they can then presumably play their UNL games, albeit they likely cannot play us a further time as currently planned.

If they can play, their game v ROI would be postponed, as would ours against them.  Our home game v Armenia would likely be postponed as well.

That could result in us having a quadruple header, with a further four games still to be played with only one international break left.

Perhaps the remaining games could be used during the preparation time for the World Cup?  Given how tight that schedule is, I don't even know if countries can play friendlies in November/December.

Their fixtures to shoehorn in are below, and don't include the postponed playoff game.

It's really weird watching a Scotland side regularly looking competent.

Like every so often we'd play well for 2/3 games, but this feels like a sustained period of time now.

IMO 2 of the 4 go ahead in June, 1 goes back to September (forming a triple header) and the other goes back to November in lieu of a pre-WC friendly

Both commentator and pundit giving Tierney credit for a Robertson tackle. Interesting.

They’ve done it twice now. Not sure why, it’s not hard to tell them apart.

We’ve actually got a good manager for a change.

Aye, think having a manager who can get the best out folk + a really good batch of players is a great mix. Hopefully we get a World Cup out them at some point.
