SCOTLAND will be facing a familiar opponent in March's Euro 2020 play-off semi-final after Steve Clarke's side were drawn against Israel.
The two countries met in the Nations League, where Scotland ultimately topped the group.
Israel chalked up a 2-1 win over Alex McLeish's side in Haifa before Scotland secured a 3-2 win at Hampden, largely down to the heroics of James Forrest at one end and Allan McGregor at the other.
The one-legged game will take place at Hampden on Thursday 26 March.
Should Scotland defeat Israel, the national side will play a one-off final against the winners of Norway v Serbia for a place in next summer's final.
However, Scotland have been drawn away from home for the play-off on Tuesday 31 March and will need to be at their very best to secure a place at Euro 2020.
