Alex McLeish has kept faith the Scotland team which defeated Albania for the match with Israel.

The Scots won their Nations League opener 2-0, with Steven Naismith forcing the first and scoring the second on the night.

The same starting 11 will take to the field in Haifa as started that night in Hampden.

Allan McGregor keeps his place in goals, with John Souttar, Charlie Mulgrew and Keiran Tierney forming a three-man defence in front of the Rangers keeper.

Kilmarnock's Stephen O'Donnell impressed on his first start for his country and retains his place at right wing-back ahead of in-form Celtic winger James Forrest.

Skipper Andy Robertson is on the opposite flank, with John McGinn and Callum McGregor either side of Fulham playmaker Kevin McDonald in the middle of the park.

With Leigh Griffiths absent, Hearts attacker Steven Naismith leads the line once more, with Sporting Kansas City's Johnny Russell supporting the Hearts striker up-front.
