150th Anniversary Heritage Match

Hampden Park, Glasgow
As a passionate Englishman, Gareth Southgate is relishing Tuesday night’s ‘brilliant sporting rivalry’ as the Three Lions head to Hampden Park to face neighbours Scotland.
The Scottish Football Association is hosting the 150th Anniversary Heritage Match to celebrate their significant anniversary by replaying the world’s oldest international fixture.
It may not be a UEFA EURO 2024 qualifier but Southgate dismissed the idea it was ‘a friendly’, highlighting that all international matches are important to the Three Lions as they prepare for another major tournament next summer.
Southgate said: “This is a very good Scotland team, there is no question about that. Steve Clarke has done a brilliant job. I really like Steve. He is a very understated guy but he is a real competitor and he is an excellent coach.
“He has done a brilliant job with the team, they have some very good players and they are on a very good run and full of confidence. Tomorrow night is a great game.”
He continued: “I don’t see any international football match as a friendly. You are trying to test yourself, you are representing your country, you are trying to prove yourself, you are trying to learn as a team, so they are all fixtures of the highest level.
“[Friendly] is an old-fashioned term really isn’t it?”

At 53 years old, Southgate grew up in an era when Scotland qualified for six World Cups out of seven in the 1970s, 80s and 90s, and the former centre-back was part of the England side which beat their neighbours 2-0 at EURO 96.
The Three Lions boss has spoken previously about how he grew up as a huge England fan but revealed he has also followed the Three Lions’ neighbours in the past.
"Well, my first memory [of England-Scotland] was of some of your mates nicking the goalposts at Wembley!” Southgate joked with one of the journalists.
“So, I’m back to '77. When I was growing up, there was only the FA Cup final and the home internationals that were live on television. So, it was the only game we saw, really.
“I mean, this is horrendous what I'm going to say here ahead of tomorrow but I was supporting Scotland in 1978 because obviously we hadn't qualified.
“So, I kind of followed that through the trauma of Peru and the Netherlands and then England were back in '82 and from then onwards it was all about England.
“But yeah, they were great fixtures. I've met so many of the former players over the years, I've worked with some of them, played with some of them, so it's a fabulous game. It's great.
“I know there's a rivalry, and I know people will be wary of it crossing the boundary, but it's a brilliant sporting rivalry and it's a great game to be involved in."
Scotland have lost just one of their last 19 home games in all competitions (W14 D4), winning the last six in a row.
A journalist asked Southgate whether he agreed with Clarke’s assessment that the match was a competitive friendly with bragging rights at stake.
The England boss replied: "No, we see it as a really good test of us as a team. We will learn a lot about the group and the individuals within it.
“You're playing a very high-level opponent in a really intimidating atmosphere, and they're the sorts of nights that have been an important part of our program.
“Some of our players will have experienced that [kind of atmosphere], some won't. So, it's going to be great to find out a bit more about them. But it is also a challenge we've got to head towards.
“We've got to walk into these challenges and relish them because we've got huge ambition as a team, but we've got a lot of work to do.
“What we have got is a great spirit. So, we have to always remind ourselves we're all about the team and we've got to show that tomorrow night."

Southgate was joined in the press conference at Hampden Park by defender Kieran Trippier, who when asked if you have to treat every international game like a tournament game, replied: “Of course you do.
“Every single international game is always competitive, friendly or not. We know the history of England-Scotland and it is a game that we are really excited about.
“We take every game seriously so tomorrow is going to be a good game and it is one we are looking forward to.”
Trippier was also asked if the fixture meant more to the Scotland players than the England players, or whether he was as desperate to win this fixture as the opposition players.
He said: "Of course, this is football. We want to win every game.
“When we played here before, it was my first camp and I got a taste of what this game means to us as players, as supporters, and as a nation. And I've got the opportunity to be here again.
“No matter who we're playing against, and of course, Scotland, you know it's going to be a good game, an entertaining game, and every game that we enter, we want to win. So we play Scotland tomorrow and we want to win."

β England have lost just one of their last 12 games against Scotland (W8 D3), a 1-0 home defeat in a European Championship qualifying play-off game. The Three Lions are unbeaten in four at Hampden Park (W2 D2) since a 1-0 defeat in May 1985.
β Scotland have lost just one of their last 19 home games in all competitions (W14 D4), winning the last six in a row. They last had a longer home winning run between August 1995 and April 1997, a seven-game run.
β England have only conceded a first-half goal in two of their last 12 matches in all competitions, though one of these was their 1-1 draw against Ukraine last time out. They last conceded in the opening 45 minutes in back-to-back matches in October 2020 (v Belgium and Denmark).

Gareth Southgate has named his starting line-up for England's 150th Anniversary Heritage Match with Scotland.
There are six changes to the starting XI which beat North Macedonia 7-0, with Aaron Ramsdale, Kieran Trippier, Lewis Dunk, Phil Foden, Kalvin Phillips and Marcus Rashford all coming into the side.
England: 1 Aaron Ramsdale (Arsenal), 2 Kyle Walker (Manchester City), 3 Kieran Trippier (Newcastle United), 4 Declan Rice (Arsenal), 5 Marc GuΓ©hi (Crystal Palace), 6 Lewis Dunk (Brighton & Hove Albion), 7 Phil Foden (Manchester City), 8 Kalvin Phillips (Manchester City), 9 Harry Kane (Bayern Munich), 10 Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid), 11 Marcus Rashford (Manchester United)
Substitutes: 12 Ben Chilwell (Chelsea), 13 Sam Johnstone (Crystal Palace), 14 Jordan Henderson (Al-Ettifaq), 15 Harry Maguire (Manchester United), 16 Fikayo Tomori (AC Milan), 17 Bukayo Saka (Arsenal), 18 Eberechi Eze (Crystal Palace), 19 Levi Colwill (Chelsea), 20 James Maddison (Tottenham Hotspur), 21 Conor Gallagher (Chelsea), 22 Jordan Pickford (Everton), 23 Callum Wilson (Newcastle United), 24 Eddie Nketiah (Arsenal)

The Real Madrid star delivered a virtuoso display at Hampden Park, doubling England’s lead shortly after Phil Foden’s opener, before supplying Harry Kane for a nerve-settling third.
The Three Lions were pegged back midway through the second half via an own goal from Harry Maguire but restored their two-goal cushion late on to register their 600th international victory, becoming the first European nation to reach the milestone.
After an opening 15 minutes lacking in fluency, Foden was involved in the first big moment of the night, firing over from 12 yards after a lay-off from Marcus Rashford.
Rashford continued to cause problems down England’s left and it was his defence-splitting pass which led to a chance for Kyle Walker but the Manchester City man was unable to add to his goal against Ukraine a few days ago, fizzing a half-volley wide of Angus Gunn’s goal.

After breaking quickly down Scotlandβs right, Bellingham poked a ball through for Rashford who was forced to retreat with Andy Robertson hot on his heels.
With a newfound taste for goals, Walker let fly but saw his attempted effort diverted brilliantly home by Foden, who opened up his left foot to cushion the ball past Gunn from six yards out.
A mere two minutes and 47 seconds later and England had a second. The visitorsβ passing and movement was once again too quick for the Scots, as a Rashford backheel allowed Foden to flash a wicked ball across the face of goal.
Scotland, who had not conceded from open play in 2023 prior, could well have leaked a third before the break, but Bellingham failed to find a pass on another electric England counterattack.
Tempers flared a little before the break with a Kalvin Phillips challenge on Che Adams sparking a brief skirmish which ended with the City midfielder, Bellingham and Scotland’s Jack Hendry all cautioned.
The second half started just as quietly as the first, with neither goalkeeper overly troubled.
Lewis Dunk then made a last-ditch block to stop an Aaron Hickey shot after the Brentford defender had skipped past a few challenges.

The crosses into the England box then came thick and fast with Lyndon Dykes and John McGinn both missing the target before another new arrival, Eberechi Eze, was denied by a fine block-save from Gunn when he was through one-on-one after an eye of the needle pass from Walker.
With the game stretched, both defences were a little less guarded and Bellingham very nearly settled matters, dancing through the Scotland rear-guard before Gunn saved with his feet.
But the former Birmingham City and Borussia Dortmund man could not be stopped a few moments later, shrugging off several tackles before playing in Kane, who slotted home ten minutes from time.
Scotland had no response and finished the 90 minutes without registering a shot on target, as England did what they could not 150 years ago, and beat their Auld Enemy.
