UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin has called an extraordinary meeting for Friday following Russia's invasion of Ukraine - and the outcome could affect Scotland's hopes of qualifying for the World Cup.
Steve Clarke's side are scheduled to host Ukraine in the semi-finals of the play-offs for Qatar 2022 on March 24 but with the Eastern European nation falling into conflict, there are doubts over whether or not the fixture will be fulfilled.
Contingency plans are already being drawn up over where to host this season's Champions League final, which had been awarded to Russia.
The final is scheduled to take place in St Petersburg's 68,000-capacity Gazprom Arena on May 28 but Russia's attack looks likely to force a change of venue.
The Ukrainian Premier League announced on Thursday morning that it will be postponed for a minimum of 30 days following the Russian invasion.
Russia are due to host Poland in an international match in Moscow next month and that fixture is also in doubt.
European football's governing body is monitoring the situation and said it will "take all necessary decisions" after Friday's meeting.
A UEFA statement said: "Following the evolution of the situation between Russia and Ukraine in the last 24 hours, the UEFA president has decided to call an extraordinary meeting of the executive committee for Friday 25 February at 1000 CET (0900 GMT), in order to evaluate the situation and take all necessary decisions.
"Further communication will be made after the meeting of the UEFA executive committee."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
