    Again McTominay dives in - it's another needless free-kick. Yes, it's miles out, but you expect Scotland to defend it. There's plenty of blue jerseys there, but it still falls to Dabbur. What a blow that is

    Mu'nas Dabbur

    Hampden's joy is quickly extinguished.

    Scotland are punished from another needlessly conceded free-kick.

    The ball bobbles about inside the home six-yard box and Mu'nas Dabbur stabs it home at the back post.

    John McGinn

    Scotland back in business - kind of out of the blue!

    Captain Andy Robertson bombs forward and links up with Kieran Tierney before setting up John McGinn.

    The midfielder curls a left foot shot into the far corner.

    It's Billy Gilmour's turn to launch a free-kick into the penalty box.

    Lyndon Dykes rises, but the striker's looping header from 16 yards is easily dealt with by goalkeeper Ofir Marciano.

    It's a tricky one for Steve Clarke now. The game has evened up a bit, but Scotland need some control. Does he change his system? The back three have looked a bit shaky

    A Kieran Tierney free-kick this time causes a few anxious moments in the visiting penalty box, but Israel again survive without conceding a goalscoring opportunity.

    The rain is lashing down at Hampden.

    Typically Scottish weather. Is it going to be a typically Scottish damp squib at the end of a qualifying campaign?

    So far, the can hardly get near the Israel penalty box and a John McGinn free-kick is aimless and easily cleared

    At some point, Scotland will take control of the midfield. Right now, Israel are managing to close them down and not giving them much space

    There's two examples of midfield players playing in defence - McTominay made the mistake early on and now Bitton allows Dykes to get in behind. That's two prime examples in the first 15 minutes

    It's great movement from Dykes. He gets a shot off and forces Marciano into a save

  11. GREAT SAVE!published at 13mins

    At last Scotland threaten.

    Striker Lyndon Dykes beats his Nir Bitton and unleashes a drive from a tight angle, but goalkeeper Ofir Marciano beats away for a corner.

    A long ball over the top of the Scotland defence and Manor Solomon is so close from gathering it on his toe with Scott McTominay looking bamboozled.

    Lucky escape...

    There were always going to be moments Scotland were under pressure. They need to start putting passes together again, making chances and the goals will come

    Scotland are looking a bit shaken by that goal.

    Israel have taken confidence from it and are looking the more composed side at the moment.

    It is an absolutely brilliant free-kick. It is the perfect position for him to hit with a right foot. There's so much bend on it, Gordon couldn't get close to it

    You've got to give credit to the finish, but it was a silly foul to concede. Not sure there's more Craig Gordon could have done there

    It's rash isn't it - he's committed himself and he has to take Zahavi out. He shouldn't be diving in so early in the game and giving away dangerous free-kicks. He has to show more composure

  19. GOAL! Scotland 0-1 Israelpublished at 5mins

    Eran Zahavi

    What a strike!

    It zips past goalkeeper Craig Gordon and what were we saying about Erin Zahavi.

    The PSV Eindhoven striker has now scored 26 goals in his last 28 international games.

    Seven in seven matches and that early burst of enthusiasm from the Hampden crowd is somewhat deflated.

    Israel settle and Jack Hendry hauls down Erin Zahavi just outside the penalty box.

    Early chance...
