Scotland aiming for victory in Netanya tonight to secure Nations League promotion

Scotland travel to Netanya knowing that a win against Israel tonight will secure top spot in the group and promotion to the top tier of the Nations League.

The two sides have met on four occasions in the last two years, and when the two sides last met, it took penalties to separate the two and Kenny McLean fired home the match-winning spot-kick to fire Scotland through to the Play-Off Final, where history was made in Belgrade.

Lyndon Dykes is available for selection after serving his one match ban, while Ryan Christie will be looking to maintain his magnificent form in the final fixture of 2020.

Scotland manager Steve Clarke remains confident that his side can win the group and promotion to League A following Wednesday’s final round of fixtures.

He said: “I’ve always said to the players that the three-game window is very intense and you need almost all your players,” he said. “I thought it took us 15-20 minutes to get a foothold in the game and that can come from so many changes.

“But this Nations League section is still in front of us. We go away, regroup and hopefully our next unbeaten run starts on Wednesday.”

The match will be shown live on Sky Sports Football, kicking off at 7.45pm.
