Alex McLeish will again lean on his Celtic contingent after naming a same again team to face Israel tonight.

Callum McGregor, James Forrest and Ryan Christie will be at the heart of the action alongside former club team-mate Stuart Armstrong.

After losing 2-1 away to Israel only a win will do tonight if Scotland are to progress to the next stage of the UEFA Nations League.

After suffering nine call-off’s from the original squad McLeish didn’t have much room to change things.

Forrest caught the eye with his first international goals in the win over Albania and will be given the chance to build on that in tonight’s match.

After being overlooked for the first two matches of the qualifying campaign Forrest grabbed his chance with both hands, building on the club form that helped Celtic into the final of the Betfred Cup and to top place in the SPFL Premiership.

SCOTLAND: A McGregor; Paterson, Bates, McKenna, Robertson; McGregor, Armstrong; Forrest, Christie, Fraser; Fletcher
