The Lanarkshire Live Sport team give their thoughts ahead of tonight's huge game at Hampden.
A place in what is effectively the play-off final against Wales awaits on Sunday, and 'all' we have to do is get past Ukraine at Hampden tonight in the semi-final. Outside the Tartan Army, of course. I fear Gareth Bale more than I worry about Wales, but we'll take it a game at a time.
