The winner of that tie was due to face Wales, who beat Austria 2-1 in their semi-final, but that was also delayed.
The fixture on June 1 will take place at Hampden Park, while the Wales' World Cup play-off final will be held at the Cardiff City Stadium.

Sky Sports senior reporter Rob Dorsett:
"It's pretty extraordinary the circumstances of the rescheduling of this match when you consider all that Ukraine is dealing with right now, with its very sovereignty and security of the nation being tested to the extreme and people dying in the country on a daily basis. Emotionally it must be very difficult for these footballers, but practically as well it's fraught with difficulty.
"Ukraine passed a martial law which said all men aged between 18 and 60 could not leave the country and had to stay to be part of the military effort.
"Special permission has been given to Ukraine's footballers so they can leave and play these matches, and they are actually trying to organise a training camp and friendlies - against France and North Macedonia - to prepare for this game.
"There is huge hope this game can go ahead but behind the scenes there is huge concern that with all the difficulties that everybody is dealing with in Ukraine, it might not happen. An awful lot could happen...between now and June 1. There are still doubts whether this could go ahead.
"All domestic football in Ukraine has been suspended. Nine members of the Ukraine squad play for Dynamo Kyiv, who haven't played since the middle of December. What sort of state are they going to be in to play this match?"
