Scotland rallies

Scotland needed a win at home and got it despite conceding early in the match against Israel in Glasgow, rallying with three unanswered goals by forward James Forrest before the visitors pulled closer again.

"A great night," Forrest said. "Going one goal behind after 10 minutes really took a lot out of the boys and we showed a lot of character."

Best and worst

The draw against Poland kept Portugal from finishing the group stage with the best campaign in League A. It finished with eight points in Group 3, one point fewer than Switzerland and Belgium in Group 2, which was won by the Swiss thanks to their come-from-behind victory over the Belgians on Sunday.

No other nation earned more than seven points in the four groups.

Iceland was the worst team in the top-tiered league after losing four matches in the group that also had Switzerland and Belgium, while Poland and Germany finished with two points each in their groups. Iceland, Poland, Germany and Croatia were demoted to League B. Ukraine, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Denmark will join Sweden in League A.

The final positions in the overall Nations League ranking determines the teams' seeding in the qualifying draw for Euro 2020.
