Scottish football fans to sing Ukrainian anthem in World Cup qualifier

Scottish football fans will be invited to sing the Ukrainian anthem at Glasgow's Hampden Park later today in a show of support for their World Cup play-off opponents.

Qazet.az reports that leaflets containing a phonetic version of the national song will be handed out and Scotland's Tartan Army will be asked to sing along in solidarity.

It is Ukraine's first competitive football match since the Russian invasion in February.

The ongoing conflict has dominated the build-up to the match, which was postponed in March.

The winners will face Wales in Cardiff on Sunday for a place in the World Cup later this year in Qatar.

Scotland's national pipers have also been learning the Ukrainian national anthem.
