The World Cup playoffs will consist of 12 Countries and only 3 Countries will qualify for the World Cup next year.
The 10 group runners up will be joined by the 2 highest ranked group winners from the Nations League, who haven't qualified top of their World Cup group or qualified for the playoffs.
I think the Nations League representatives could be Austria and Czech Republic if they don't finish in the top 2 of their World Cup groups.
The 6 best runners up will have home ties against the 4 worse runners up and the 2 Nations League countries.
Both the Semi-Finals and the Final will be one off games.
When the draw takes place, the countries will be split into 3 groups of 4 countries and that will be 6 Semi-Finals and 3 Finals.
It will be the luck of the draw to determine who will be at home in the 3 finals.
The 6 Semi-Finals will take place on Thursday March 24th and Friday March 25th.
The Finals will take place on Monday March 28th and Tuesday March 29th.
Celtic then visit Ibrox on Saturday April 2nd.

I’m pointing out the chances Scotland have to qualify for the World Cup next year, which is in the middle of our season.
It affects Celtic because we have a few players in the Scotland squad.
Gerry you come across as someone, that would start a fight in an empty house.
Probably steaming yourself?
