Looking for a Ukraine vs Scotland live stream? You're in the right place – FourFourTwo has all the info you need.  

Scotland are on the brink of promotion to League A but can’t afford a late slip-up in Krakow, where they face Group B1 rivals Ukraine on Tuesday. 

Steve Clarke’s side have enjoyed an impressive international break, beating Ukraine 3-0 at Hampden Park last week before earning a 2-1 win over the Republic of Ireland on Saturday.

Ukraine recovered from their disappointing night in Glasgow to hammer Armenia 5-0 and keep their promotion hopes alive.

Going into the deciding match, Scotland are two points ahead of Ukraine.

The permutations are therefore nice and simple; if the Scots avoid defeat they will finish top, while Ukraine need a victory to win the group.

A guaranteed Euro 2024 play-off place is at stake, as well as a place in the top tier of the Nations League.

This will be the third meeting between the two sides in three months after Ukraine’s World Cup play-off semi-final win in Glasgow in June and the aforementioned Nations League clash last Wednesday.

Scotland will be without Kieran Tierney and Scott McKenna, who picked up injuries, while Scott McTominay is suspended.

Captain Andy Robertson, Grant Hanley, Liam Cooper and Nathan Patterson are also out.

For Ukraine, Serhii Sydorchuk is suspended.

VPN guide

Use a VPN to watch Nations League football from outside your country

If you’re out of the country for a round of Premier League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.

But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.

There are plenty of good-value options out there, including:
