  1. 'A different Israel this half'

    Scotland 1-2 Israel

    Pat Nevin
    Former Scotland winger on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Scotland have had most of the play so far, but I think Israel will change slightly. They'll be happy to play more on the break this half I think

  2. 'Needless booking for McGinn'

    Scotland 1-2 Israel

    Willie Miller
    Former Scotland defender on BBC Sportsound

    He's got to keep his cool John McGinn - it was a vicious tackle, he was nowhere near that ball. That was completely out of frustration and now he has a needless yellow card

  3. YELLOW CARD John McGinn (Scotland)

    Scotland 1-2 Israel

    John McGinn loses his cool after a poor attempt of a pass is intercepted and the Scotland midfielder is booked for a wild challenge on Manor Solomon.

  4. 'Confidence needed from Scotland'

    Scotland 1-2 Israel

    Pat Nevin
    Former Scotland winger on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Scotland have to be more confident playing it out from the back. Gilmour and McGregor have been missed out too often. We need to ditch the long throws too

  5. Scotland 1-2 Israel

    No changes from Scotland boss Steve Clarke, which might surprise a few given so many of his players were off colour.

    Nathan Patterson goes down in the Israel penalty box, but anyone expecting a penalty kick was being wildly optimistic there.

  6. KICK-OFF SECOND HALF

    HT: Scotland 1-2 Israel

    Israel get the game under way again.

    A massive 45 minutes ahead for Scotland to rescue their hopes of finishing runners-up in their World Cup qualification group.

  7. 'Scotland look panicked in defence'

    HT: Scotland 1-2 Israel

    Tom English
    BBC Scotland's chief sports writer on BBC Sportsound

    There's no accuracy in Scotland's game. Panic in defence, players spooked in defence too. Concentration levels are really poor

  8. 'VAR should look at Israel goal'

    HT: Scotland 1-2 Israel

    Neil McCann
    Former Rangers winger on BBC Scotland

    On the second goal, I think VAR should have checked it - the ball comes off Peretz's hand, which forces Craig Gordon into the save. I've checked the rules, which say that even an accidental handball should rule the goal out

  9. 'Marciano seemed to know'

    HT: Scotland 1-2 Israel

    Pat Nevin
    Former Scotland winger on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Marciano seemed to know Dykes was going for pure power. He had to wait a long, long time for that penalty though. Maybe someone on such good form like John McGinn should have been stepping up for it

    Scotland's Lyndon Dykes is disappointedGetty Images

    Lyndon Dykes missed a chance to draw Scotland level at 2-2 from the penalty spot

  10. 'Hendry must stay put at the back'

    HT: Scotland 1-2 Israel

    Neil McCann
    Former Rangers winger on BBC Scotland

    When we're playing with this three at the back I don't think the middle man should ever step in. Hendry steps in and the wide players come inside. It has happened on a number of occasions

  11. 'Midfield should be changed'

    HT: Scotland 1-2 Israel

    Neil McCann
    Former Rangers winger on BBC Scotland

    The thing we have to change is the midfield three. Before the game, I thought it was the right call, but with Israel's 3-4-3, Billy Gilmour is dropping far too deep towards McTominay and Hendry to get the ball, which stops us having the numerical advantage

  12. 'Scotland will get more chances'

    HT: Scotland 1-2 Israel

    Willie Miller
    Former Scotland defender on BBC Sportsound

    I do think we'll still get more chances. Whether we're good enough to take them, or whether we're good enough to keep them from scoring again, we'll have to see

  13. HALF-TIME Scotland 1-2 Israel

    The boos ring out around Hampden.

    Whether that is directed at the referee for not producing a red card at Scotland's penalty or the home performance, the capacity crowd is not happy.

    Their home heroes, who started the game with so much hope, have failed to live up to their billing and Israel deserve their lead.

  14. 'Marciano knew what was coming'

    Scotland 1-2 Israel

    Willie Miller
    Former Scotland defender on BBC Sportsound

    I think Marciano knows that he's going to go down the middle. He doesn't move. There's nothing in his mind that suggested he was going to pick a side

  15. 'Really, really poor'

    Scotland 1-2 Israel

    Leanne Crichton
    Ex-Scotland international on BBC Sportsound

    It's a really, really poor penalty. At no point does Marciano show he's anticipating and ready to move. You cannot just take a chance on rifiling it down the middle

  16. MISSED PENALTY

    Scotland 1-2 Israel

    Oh dear Lyndon Dykes!

    A big chance for the Queens Park Rangers striker, but he fires straight at Ofir Marciano and the goalkeeper blocks it clear with his legs.

  17. PENALTY TO SCOTLAND

    Scotland 1-2 Israel

    Billy Gilmour is sliced down on the edge of the penalty box and the referee points to the spot.

    Israel midfielder Bibras Natkho is perhaps fortunate not to see red as he looks to challenge after goalkeeper Ofir Marciano had punched clear.

  18. 'Israel's game management is key'

    Scotland 1-2 Israel

    Pat Nevin
    Former Scotland winger on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Israel are conceding fouls in really smart areas. They're committing fouls out wide where Scotland can't do much with the resulting free-kicks

  19. McGinn leveller short-lived

    Scotland 1-2 Israel

    John McGinn's goal briefly brought Scotland level at Hampden

  20. 'The space will come'

    Scotland 1-2 Israel

    Leanne Crichton
    Ex-Scotland international on BBC Sportsound

    The goal showed how vulnerable Israel are when you actually work the ball and move it side to side. The spaces will come as Scotland showed
