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.

13. Leigh Griffiths - 5
Fluffed lines with great chance but did force good stop from Marciano with free-kick. Looked threatening with a partner beside him which has potential in future. Photo: JACK GUEZ
14. Oli McBurnie - 4
Much maligned but not half as bad as he'd made out to be. Could have scored and needs a goal but running and pressure as part of a two will create openings for his strike partner in future. Photo: JACK GUEZ
15. Scott McKenna - 5
Thought he'd scored, and should have scored when his header ruffled the outside of the net late on. Looks likely to regain spot in defence for next games in March. Photo: Ian MacNicol
16. Oliver Burke - 5
Improvement on recent Scotland showings - Sheffield United man provided an attacking threat when he came on, but not for long enough. Photo: JACK GUEZ
