GLASGOW: Scotland boosted their bid for Nations League promotion and gained a measure of revenge over Ukraine with a 3-0 win in Glasgow on Wednesday. Scotland were beaten 3-1 by Ukraine in an emotionally-charged World Cup play-off at Hampden Park in June. A shadow of the team that beat Scotland in the playoffs, Ukraine provided little resistance as Scotland made it three wins from their four Nations League matches. The Scots have moved above Ukraine to the top of the group as they chase promotion to League A. While the competition is derided by some, Scotland are well aware of the Nations League’s importance after securing a Euro 2020 play-off through winning their Nations League group.
