HOW THEY RATED

Marks out of 10

- By Graham Swann

SCOTLAND 3-4-1-2 CRAIG GORDON 7

Helpless as Zahavi scored a brilliant free-kick to open the scoring. Asking serious questions of defence for Israel’s second.

SCOTT McTOMINAY 7

Yes, he looked uncomforta­ble in back three. But who cares? Bundled home stoppage-time winner. Right place, right time.

JACK HENDRY 6

Rash challenge to bring down Zahavi for the free-kick which the striker converted for 1-0. But flick-on set up McTominay’s goal.

KIERAN TIERNEY 8

Arsenal man linked brilliantl­y on the left with Andy Robertson as Scotland made it 1-1. Energetic performanc­e again.

NATHAN PATTERSON 6

Lost possesion cheaply and needed to be stronger in lead-up to Israel’s opener. Booked but better display in second half.

BILLY GILMOUR 9

Gambled to shoot and won penalty. Classy playmaker sees passes that no one else does. Harshly booked in second half.

CALLUM McGREGOR 7

Unable to make an impact in first half. Not used nearly enough in periods of play in midfield. Miles improved after the break.

ANDY ROBERTSON 8

Terrific determinat­ion and link-up play as John McGinn made it 1-1. Beauty of a cross to Dykes for second equaliser. Booked.

JOHN McGINN 8

Scored a superb equaliser for 1-1. Squandered massive chance to convert a late winner. Booked for a tackle on Solomon.

CHE ADAMS 6

Huffed and puffed in the first half. Upped tempo in second half but evening came to an end when he was replaced by Ryan Christie.

LYNDON DYKES 6

Defensivel­y suspect as Israel made it 2-1. Dire penalty but made amends at 2-2. Wasted huge headed chance to make it 3-2.
