Goals from Kenny Miller, Lee McCulloch and James McFadden gave Scotland a thoroughly-deserved victory over Ukraine at a raucous Hampden on Saturday, with the away side's lone reply coming from Chelsea striker Shevchenko.

Scotland's next match is a potentially-tricky encounter with Georgia in Tbilisi on Wednesday, before a mouth-watering make-or-break tie at home to Italy on Saturday, November 17.

Both fixtures are likely to be extremely tough for Scotland, who currently sit top of Group B, one point ahead of Italy and two in front of France.

But Shevchenko believes Alex McLeish's men have every chance of making the finals.

The former AC Milan striker said: "Scotland is a good team and this is a big success for the country and the national side.

"This is a great result for them and keeps them first in the group with every chance of qualifying.

"It is a very tough group, but everything is in Scotland's hands.

"They have two very important games left which everything now depends on."
