Scotland and Wales could meet for a place at the Qatar 2022 World Cup after being drawn together in the same path of the Uefa World Cup play-offs.
Steve Clarke’s side will play Ukraine in the semi-final, while Rob Page’s outfit will play Austria, with the two home nations drawn together in Path A.
Should both sides emerge from their semi-finals, Wales would receive home advantage and host Scotland at the Cardiff City Stadium in the Path A final.
Elsewhere, Path B sees Russia take on Poland in the semi-finals, with Sweden taking on Czech Republic.
In Path C, Italy take on North Macedonia and Portugal face Turkey in the semi-finals, which means there is only space for one World Cup finalist between the four-time winners and European Champions.
In what could be a colossal play-off final, should Italy and Portugal both advance, Cristiano Ronaldo’s side would host the Azzurri in the Path C final.
Finally, the Path B final will see either Russia or Poland host Sweden or Czech Republic.
Wales finished second in Group E, edging out Czech Republic to finish behind Belgium and secure a seeded place in the play-offs, having already clinched a berth as an unseeded side through the Nations League.
While Scotland were the runners-up in Group F behind Denmark and also finished as one of the six best runners-up to advance to the play-offs.
