Scotland

 

But well Northern Ireland and assured of their play-off place now

Well, now Slovakia must pray for either v. or v.   to end in a draw

Or a Serbian defeat will do for them also

So, for the record:

 

- If Ireland vs Wales OR Ukraine 0 Croatia ends in a draw, the group of the match that ended in a draw has the 2nd place that misses out on the play-offs

- If both of these matches don't end in a draw, Slovakia misses out on the play-offs as 9th second placed team

 

What if both end in a draw?

Or if Greece fail to beat Gibraltar

Or if Serbia lose to Georgia.

 

Both very unlikely

 

If both of those matches you mentioned end in a draw then Wales are out (Group D are the worst 2nd place group)..... unless Serbia lose in which case Wales may overtake them on goal difference and qualify to the World Cup leaving Serbia out too...... so many permutations, most of them unlikely

So there's 4 matches to look at and if one of them ends favourably for Slovakia, FC hckosice is through to the play-offs. Right, let's go

or to win in

 

impossible you would say,

 

but the irony is that Georgian coach is actually the Slovak former NT team coach ad father of our NT player Vladimír Weiss sr.  so let see how much he will want to help his native country  but I´m really cheering Serbia to qualify, after what they had to suffer during the last EURO qualifiers, they really deserve some success.
