  1. Four minutes of stoppage time

    Scotland 3-2 Israel

    Scotland are pinned in. Can they hold on?

  2. GREAT SAVE!

    Scotland 3-2 Israel

    Astonishing from Allan McGregor!

    The Scotland defence is caught sleeping by a long diagonal and Israel substitute Tomer Hemed cracks a volley on target from 12 yards, drawing a sensational stop from the Rangers goalie.

    A huge moment.

  3. Scotland 3-2 Israel

    With the rain absolutely lashing down in the southside of Glasgow, the nervous Hampden crowd give Steven Fletcher a warm round of applause as the striker makes way for holding midfielder Scott McTominay.

  4. Scotland 3-2 Israel

    A scare for Scotland as goalkeeper Allan McGregor flaps awkwardly at a corner, knocking the ball down near his feet. Luckily, no player in white can profit and the ball is hoofed away.

  5. Scotland 3-2 Israel

    Israel are in a hurry now as they seek the equaliser that would seem them win the group. Scotland will need to roll their sleeves up and dig in.

  7. Double change for Scotland

    Scotland 3-2 Israel

    The substitutes were preparing to come on just before that second Israel goal. Graeme Shinnie and Matt Phillips are on for Stuart Armstrong and Ryan Christie

  8. 'Magnificent strike from Zahavi'

    Scotland 3-2 Israel

    Willie Miller
    Former Scotland defender on BBC Radio Scotland

    Magnificent strike from Zahavi, Scotland have got to close them down earlier. It took a little deflection but they need to get out there quicker. He's hit it with power, he's looked up and slipped it into the back of the net.

    Israel are now just one goal behindSNS

    GOAL Scotland 3-2 Israel

    Eran Zahavi

    Uh-oh. Israel are right back in it as Eran Zahavi smashes a powerful shot past Allan McGregor from the edge of the penalty area.

    GOAL

  10. Scotland 3-1 Israel

    Steven Flecther throws himself at a looping cross at the back post and, with the angle too tight to get it on target, heads back across goal. However, David Bates and Scott McKenna had also gone for the ball and there is no one there to connect for Scotland.

  11. YELLOW CARD Peretz (Israel)

    Scotland 3-1 Israel

    Steven Fletcher is chasing after everything and the striker rolls in a neat pass for Ryan Christie to gather near the edge of the penalty box only to be crudely hacked down by Dor Peretz.

  12. Scotland 3-1 Israel

    James Forrest is brimming with confidence as he takes aim for the far top corner with his left foot from 20 yards. It whizzes high and wide but the crowd give him a huge cheer anyway.

  13. 'Calm and collected'

    Scotland 3-1 Israel

    Kris Boyd
    Former Scotland striker on BBC Radio Scotland

    It's fantastic. Brilliant play from Ryan Fraser but you've got to say how calm and collected James Forrest is when he gets into these positions.

  14. goal

    GOAL Scotland 3-1 Israel

    James Forrest

    Hat-trick!

    Ryan Fraser gets his head down and bustles into the penalty area from the left before sliding a low pass into the feet of James Forrest. The Celtic winger takes a sublime first touch to move the ball beyond a sliding midfielder then finds the bottom corner once again with a composed finish.

    GOAL

  15. Scotland 2-1 Israel

    Scotland full-backs Andy Robertson and Callum Paterson are not venturing beyond halfway too often. The midfield three are buzzing around with real energy as the home side squeeze the space on the big Hampden pitch.

  16. 'Fletcher will be disappointed'

    Scotland 2-1 Israel

    Willie Miller
    Former Scotland defender on BBC Radio Scotland

    Good movement. Steven Fletcher loses his marker. He will be disappointed that he didn't get it down and get more accuracy. He's got a little glimmer of space there and it just comes off the top of his head.

  17. CLOSE!

    Scotland 2-1 Israel

    Steven Fletcher gets up early (too early?) to meet a corner kick and his header loops just over the top from eight yards out.

  18. YELLOW CARD Taha (Israel)

    Scotland 2-1 Israel

    Scotland launch a break after a wee spell of Israeli pressure and Steven Fletcher is upended by Loai Taha as he looks to pick out Ryan Christie.

  19. Scotland 2-1 Israel

    Scotland striker Steven Fletcher throws his arms up in frustration as Israel goalkeeper Ariel Harush smothers a low cross from Ryan Fraser that was heading for the feet of the Sheffield Wednesday man.

  20. Scotland 2-1 Israel

    Jeers of derision from the Tartan Army as an ambitious long-range shot from Eli Dasa flies high over the target.
