With what is going on, given that 3-4 weeks ago Russia were still saying no invasion was ever going to happen, this could last for anything from another 2 weeks to 2 years and the rest and also spill out all over Europe.

If the Ukraine squad are (mostly) out of there, or the few that aren't playing abroad can be moved out of there - I know, all their men have to stay and fight - then let them train and play the game or at least put a certain date on it. Fudging it for a few months isn't helping anyone. A Ukraine win would do wonders for their morale. Playing and losing less so, but eventually giving Scotland the walk-over is doing nobody any favours.
