There seems to be a feeling that IF Scotland qualify for the playoffs, that is job done. FAR FROM IT.
There will be TWELVE teams playing for THREE places
The ten group runners-up are joined by the two best group winners of the 2020/21 UEFA Nations League overall ranking that have neither qualified directly for the final tournament as European Qualifiers group winners, nor entered the play-offs already as European Qualifiers group runners-up. The 12 teams will be drawn into three play-off paths for one-off semi-finals and a final. Only the three path winners qualify for the World Cup.
The Group runners up could include, with Scotland, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Croatia, Poland.
Still a challenge ahead.
