Scotland midfielder Stuart Armstrong told what he expects from the Nations League match against Ukraine, which will be held today in Glasgow.
“We admitted back in June that in our last match against Ukraine we didn’t play well enough (Teams of Scotland and Ukraine met last June in Glasgow as part of the playoffs of the 2022 World Cup qualifying round, and then the Ukrainians celebrated a 3-1 victory — ed.). Then everything went wrong. Well, a second try often fixes the mistake.
We want to win this time. Also for the reason that the June defeat against Ukraine was very painful for us - you know what was at stake in that game, so the disappointment was great.
We know that the Ukrainian national team is a difficult opponent, we know this from the same June match with this team. But to the same extent, we are aware of our own capabilities. And the results that we had in the recent past show that we are also a very good team,” said Armstrong.
