Manager Steve Clarke reverted to the same side which saw off Serbia – on penalties – last week for the crucial match in Netanya.
Lyndon Dykes, Andy Robertson and Scott McTominay all returned to the side as did the previously undefeated Declan Gallagher for his seventh cap.
But that proud record of the Motherwell defender is gone, and so have Scotland’s Nations League hopes. They’ll remain in the ‘B’ section after Czech Republic leap-frogged Steve Clarke's side and took promotion.
With the 2-0 win in Plzen even a draw wouldn’t have been enough for Scotland and Manor Solomon’s goal was crucial in Netanya in saving Israel from relegation too and denying Scotland the step up despite a 12-2 corner kick balance in the visitors’ favour.

Steve Clarke's cornerstone is Scotland's cornershop - always open and gives his team-mates just what they need and when they need it. Another efficient, reliable display on his 10th cap. Photo: JACK GUEZ
10. Ryan Christie - 7
Scotland's threat but after missing early chance seemed to lay in more than try again - another fine showing from the frontman but another whose recent exertions caught up with him and faded out of the second half - but completed 90 because he's such a creative threat. Photo: JACK GUEZ
11. Lyndon Dykes - 6
Kept Bitton busy as expected and hold-up close control was good but failed to find much space or trouble Marciano in the Israel goal after missing Slovakia game on Sunday. Photo: JACK GUEZ

Third meeting in as many months with Israel and stuck by the team who served him well in Serbia, but with such familiar opponents needed some pizzazz to make the difference and after three tiring games, there was none. Photo: Srdjan Stevanovic
