How to watch Scotland v Israel: TV channel, live stream details, kick-off time and squad

Hampden might not have the feel of a big-game atmosphere come 7.45pm on Thursday.

However there's no doubting this is Scotland's most important football match in well over a decade.

Steve Clarke's side will host Israel in a European Championships play-off semi-final, with the winner going on to play either Norway or Serbia for a place at the tournament.

While Hampden will be closed to supporters due to COVID-19 restrictions, football fans across the country will be glued to their television sets to see if the national team can enjoy a glory night – and move one step closer to the rearranged 2020 championships.

So how do I watch the match?

The game will be shown live on Sky Sports Main Event with coverage starting at 7pm. The action will kick-off 45-minutes later.

Fans without the Sky Sports channel can purchase a NOW TV day pass for £9.99 and watch the game through that.

Who is in the Scotland squad?

It emerged on Wednesday afternoon that Stuart Armstrong had tested positive for coronavirus and would miss the match as a result.

Celtic's Ryan Christie and Arsenal's Kieran Tierney are also required to self-isolate for 14-days as a result.

The Scotland squad Steve Clarke has to choose from is as follows: David Marshall, Jon McLaughlin, Robby McCrorie, Liam Cooper, Declan Gallagher, Ryan Porteous, Stephen O'Donnell, Andy Robertson, Greg Taylor, John Fleck, Ryan Fraser, Ryan Jack, John McGinn, Callum McGregor, Kenny McLean, Scott McTominay, Lyndon Dykes, Oli McBurnie, Callum Paterson, Lawrence Shankland.
