Israel have their tails up after victories over Scotland and Albania at home last month and with head-to-head results rather than goal difference determining rankings, they need only a draw against the Scots to ensure top place in League C’s Group One and promotion to League B.

Victory for Albania at home to Scotland next week would secure Israel’s position as group winner, even if they lose in Glasgow. Top place will also ensure a place in the four-team League C playoffs next June, with the winners ensured a place in the Euro 2020 finals regardless of their performance in the group qualifying stages.

Israel have been boosted by the recall of former captain Eran Zahavi, who missed both wins last month through injury.  Ingolstadt's Almog Cohen and Maccabi Tel Aviv's Eyal Golasa have also been included, along with English-based players Beram Kayal and Tomer Hemed.
