He would go on to become Austria's most- capped player with 103 appearances (23 goals) – a record that still stands. • Twice an Austrian champion with Rapid Wien, the gifted left-footer's best years at club level came in Germany at Werder Bremen, with whom he won the Bundesliga title in 1992/93 and two German Cups. He also scored a personal-best tally of 15 Bundesliga goals in 1996/97, the season in which he returned to Werder after just one year away at Bayern München where he became a UEFA Cup winner. • Returned home to Rapid in 2001 for two further years in the Austrian Bundesliga and then headed west to see out his career with MLS side Los Angeles Galaxy. • Began his coaching career as caretaker of the Austria national team in 2005 and went on to be assistant to Karel Brückner. He continued to be head coach of the Austrian U-21 team, playing a key part in the development of future senior internationals such as David Alaba. • In 2011 he joined forces again with his former Bayern team-mate Jürgen Klinsmann to become the assistant coach of the United States national team, helping them reach the round of 16 at the 2014 FIFA World Cup. After a spell in charge of the USA's Under-23s he took on work as a TV pundit before accepting an offer to become head coach of Israel on 1 August 2018. Alex McLeish Date of birth: 21 January 1959 Nationality: Scottish Playing career: Aberdeen, Motherwell Coaching career: Motherwell, Hibernian, Rangers, Scotland (twice), Birmingham, Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest, Genk, Zamalek • McLeish made his name as a rock-solid central defender with Alex Ferguson's illustrious Old Firm-defying Aberdeen side of the 1980s; the Dons won the Scottish league title in 1980, 1984 and 1985, added four Scottish Cup victories in five years and, most famously, beat Real Madrid 2-1 in the 1983 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup final before also overcoming Hamburg in that year's UEFA Super Cup. • During his 17 years at Pittodrie, 'Eck' earned 77 caps for Scotland, playing at the 1982, 1986 and 1990 FIFA World Cup finals. He joined Motherwell as player/manager in 1994 and proved an immediate success at Fir Park, guiding the unfancied side to a runners-up spot in the Scottish Premier League in his first season in charge. • He moved on in 1998 to Hibernian, where he experienced a mixture of highs and lows. Mooted at one point as a candidate to become Ferguson's right-hand man at Manchester United, his next career move took him instead to Rangers, where he replaced Dick Advocaat as manager in December 2001. McLeish's four-and-a-half-year tenure brought two league titles, two Scottish Cups and three Scottish League Cups to Ibrox, but a difficult season in 2005/06 prompted his departure. • In January 2007 McLeish was named as the new manager of Scotland, replacing Walter Smith. He would last less than a year, quitting in November to join English Premier League club Birmingham. He remained at St Andrew's for three and a half seasons, winning the League Cup in 2011 but also experiencing relegation at the end of the same campaign. In a surprise move he left to join city rivals Aston Villa but lasted only a season in charge. • Brief stints at Nottingham Forest, Belgian club Genk (where he enjoyed a fruitful 2014/15 campaign) and Egyptian side Zamalek preceded his reappointment as Scotland manager on 16 February 2018, ending a spell of more than 18 months in the managerial wilderness. 5 Israel - Scotland Thursday 11 October 2018 - 20.45CET (21.45 local time) Match press kit Sammy Ofer Stadium, Haifa Match officials Referee Daniel Stefanski (POL) Assistant referees Marcin Boniek (POL) , Dawid Igor Golis (POL) Additional assistant referees Bartosz Frankowski (POL) , Zbigniew Dobrynin (POL) Fourth official Krzysztof Myrmus (POL) UEFA Delegate Georges Lüchinger (LIE) UEFA Referee observer Marian Ruzbarsky (SVK) Referee Name Date of birth UEFA matches Daniel Stefanski 02/07/1977 1 35 UEFA Nations League matches between the two teams No such matches refereed Other matches involving teams from either of the two countries involved in this match Stage Date Competition Home Away Result Venue reached 24/07/2014 UEL 2QR FC Groningen Aberdeen FC 1-2 Groningen 19/07/2016 UCL 2QR FC Sheriff Tiraspol Hapoel Beer-Sheva FC 0-0 Tiraspol 23/08/2018 UEL PO Rangers FC FC Ufa 1-0 Glasgow 6 Israel - Scotland Thursday 11 October 2018 - 20.45CET (21.45 local time) Match press kit Sammy Ofer Stadium, Haifa Competition facts What is the background to the UEFA Nations League?
