13'
Scotland have so many quality attacking midfielders, but the issue in recent matches has been bringing them into the game. Dykes and McBurnie are doing a decent job of that.
12'
ROBERTSON... just wide! The Scotland captain takes the freekick 20 yards out, but his strike flashes wide of the near post. That was a decent try, but Marciano probably had it covered.
11'
Dykes wins a freekick on the edge of the Israel penalty area after a pretty rash tackle on the slide by Yeini. This could be a decent opportunity for Scotland to at least test Marciano...
10'
Scotland are starting to settle into the match now, seeing more of the ball. They need to try and get Robertson into the game more. The Liverpool left back has often struggled for his best form for his country.
9'
McGinn... shoots over! Brilliant set up from Dykes who chests down a pass from McGregor for McGinn, but the Aston Villa midfielder shoots well over the bar from 20 yards out.
9'
Dykes was handed his first Scotland call-up for last month's games against Israel and Czech Republic, and while he did well the striker suffered from a lack of support. Same again tonight? He has McBurnie alongside him.
8'
7'
Israel have started the better of the two teams. They are the ones dictating possession. They are camped on the edge of the Scotland penalty box, but Elhamed's cross goes long.
6'
A good cross into the middle by Elhamed after the stepover beat O'Donnel, but Cooper got his head on the ball to clear. The Celtic full back already looks to be a good outlet for Israel.
5'
Celtic manager Neil Lennon had actually publicy expressed his desire that Bitton not play in this match due to injury troubles, but the midfielder-turned-centre back is in the Israel side.
4'
There are a few familiar faces in the Israel team from a Scottish perspective. Bitton, Elhamed and Marciano all play their club football in the country. All decent players as well.
3'
2'
O'Donnell sticks a diagonal ball on to the head of McBurnie. It doesn't come off this time, but is that a sign of things to come for Scotland with the Sheffield United striker up front alongside Dykes?

The match is under way! It's Scotland against Israel in this Euro 2020 play-off semi final at Hampden Park!
19:44
Okay, here we go. We are about to get under way in this Euro 2020 play-off semi final. Kick off is just moments away.
19:43
Sky Sports has the Scotland formation as a standard back four. We'll keep you updated on that. It had been assumed it would be a back three as it was last month.
19:42
National anthem time. No as rousing as it would have been with over 50,000 fans inside the stadium, but nonetheless.
19:41
19:40
Not long until kick off at Hampden. There are no fans inside the stadium to build an atmosphere, but you can feel the tension building. This is such a massive match for Scotland.
19:35
Of course, these two sides faced each other in the UEFA Nations League at Hampden Park only last month, with Israel claiming a 1-1 draw. Scotland will need to be much better this evening.
