  1. Debutant Abu Fani on for Natcho

    Scotland 0-0 Israel

    Israel head coach makes the first change and it is a surprise, with captain Bibras Natcho being replaced in midfield with Mohammad Abu Fani.

    This is the Maccabi Haifi 22-year-old's first cap.

  2. When's it time to look at the bench?

    Scotland 0-0 Israel

    Willie Miller
    Former Scotland defender on BBC Sportsound

    You've got to take a chance at some point, but the team is doing well just now. I don't think it's time to make a change just yet

  3. Quiet night for Marciano

    Scotland 0-0 Israel

    Israel goalkeeper Ofir Marciano clearsSNS

    Hibs goalkeeper Ofir Marciano has not been put under too much pressure by Scotland

  4. On the stretch

    Scotland 0-0 Israel

    Billy Dodds
    Former Scotland striker on BBC Sportsound

    This game has stretched in that last 10 minutes

  5. 'McGinn making things tick'

    Scotland 0-0 Israel

    Willie Miller
    Former Scotland defender on BBC Sportsound

    John McGinn is the one that's showing the energy. He's using his body well and creating opportunities. He seems to be the man that's making things tick

  6. Scotland 0-0 Israel

    Another break for Scotland and this time Lyndon Dykes header to striker partner Oli McBurnie is cut out superbly by defender Eli Dasa.

    That comes after a nervous moment in the home defence, the ball bobbling about dangerously before captain Andy Robertson clears.

  7. Scotland 0-0 Israel

    A bit of pressure from Scotland at last, but John McGinn volleys wide from the edge of the area then Oli McBurnie is unable to find Lyndon Dykes with a header.

  8. YELLOW CARD John McGinn (Scotland)

    Scotland 0-0 Israel

    Scotland midfielder John McGinn is late with a challenge and down goes Bibras Natco.

    The screams of the Israel captain are followed by the yellow card.

  9. PENALTY APPEAL

    Scotland 0-0 Israel

    Is that another chance the Scots will rue.

    Andy Robertson's cross finds Ryan Jack at the back post, but the Rangers midfielder makes a mess of his shot.

    It breaks to Scott McTominay and the defender's shot hits the hand of Eitan Tibi. Big shouts for a penalty from the Scots, but it would have been harsh if that had been given.

  10. YELLOW CARD Nir Bitton (Israel)

    Scotland 0-0 Israel

    Celtic's Nir Bitton goes in the referee's book as he thwarts a Scotland break with a late challenge on Oli McBurnie.

  11. Scotland 0-0 Israel

    Billy Dodds
    Former Scotland striker on BBC Sportsound

    It's kind of scrappy. The longer this goes on, both teams will be thinking they won't want to lose this and it'll get more cagey

  12. Scotland 0-0 Israel

    Israel continue to play the more flowing football and a nice passage of play ends with midfielder Eyal Golasa curling a drive just over the crossbar from 18 years.

  13. Scotland 0-0 Israel

    Scotland captain Andy Robertson whips in a free-kick and, when Scott McTominay heads on towards the six-yard box, the referee blows for a foul on goalkeeper Ofir Marciano.

    It's all rather tepid stuff still.

  14. Scotland 'solid and sound' defensively

    Scotland 0-0 Israel

    Willie Miller
    Former Scotland defender on BBC Sportsound

    Defensively, we look solid and sound, but we haven't started the second half as positively as we did the first, which is slightly concerning

  15. KICK-OFF

    Scotland 0-0 Israel

    A hugely important 45 minutes for both sides gets under way as Israel kick-off looking to reach their first major tournament finals since 1970.

    For Scotland, the wait is shorter but still a painful 22 years.

  16. 'Throw it in the box!'

    HT: Scotland 0-0 Israel

    Craig Levein
    Former Scotland manager on BBC Sportsound

    I don't think Steve Clarke will be that unhappy. If we can do better in the forward areas, we will get chances. I've seen enough to know we can get at their backline. Knowing Lyndon Dykes, just throw the ball in the box!

  17. All to play for in Oslo

    HT: Norway 0-0 Serbia

    Serbia have continued to edge the game in Norway, but it is still all square there too.

    Scotland, though, still need to get past Israel before thinking of who they might be playing in the Euro 2020 play-off final.

  19. Misfiring in attack?

    HT: Scotland 0-0 Israel

    Craig Levein
    Former Scotland manager on BBC Sportsound

    The partnership of McBurnie and Dykes up front hasn't done enough for me. They are playing like two lone strikers. It hasn't quite gelled so far

  20. 'Scotland overly cautious'

    HT: Scotland 0-0 Israel

    Tom English
    BBC Scotland's chief sports writer

    From Scotland, it's all a bit slow and unconvincing. They look cautious, overly cautious. They are almost playing not to lose rather than to win
