Scotland 0-0 England LIVE: Old rivalry resumes as hosts seek historic win over Gareth Southgate’s side

Marcus Rashford could prove to be a major annoyance for Scotland’s defenders tonight as he continues to shift from winger to midfielder. His quick feet almost beat Scotland early on.

The home side are denied much of the ball and Steve Clarke’s plan appears to be to counter-attack. England will have to make a mistake before Scotland get a chance and so far they look comfortable.

Scotland are forced to defend deep as England win corners in quick succession. Guehi goes down in the penalty area, but there wasn’t much in it and the game continues.

England appear to have settled in quickly and are playing with confidence while controlling possession in the early exchanges. Scotland reverts to a back-five when England have the ball.

Man City right-back Kyle Walker wins the first corner of the match and it is played deep inside Declan Rice. The Arsenal midfielder looks to cut a cross to the back post, but Gunn comes off his line and strikes away.

The England captain appeared to have fallen deep against Ukraine last time, but is trying to make some early runs here. Something the Scottish defense must be wary of.

The hosts get the ball rolling and we’re on our way. There is raw emotion on display and this is going to be a blast.

The English national anthem is played first and there is a lot of cheering in Hampden Park, to the point where you can barely hear ‘God save the King’ as a large number of Scottish supporters make their feelings known.

Traveling English fans try to do the same as the Scottish national anthem plays, but are drowned out.

We are just five minutes away from the start at Hampden Park when the players return to their dressing rooms. Soon there will be a mighty roar from both sets of supporters. Brace yourself and stay with us for the entire match.

Speaking to Channel 4 ahead of the match, the England manager has admitted it will be a ‘hostile’ test for the Three Lions tonight.

Southgate said: “There is so much history in the game and a great test for us in a very hostile environment. Scotland are playing well and it’s a really good challenge.

“We are trying to find the balance between stability and experience and we have to do that in the coming months, but also some freshness in the team, so many different objectives.”

Scotland haven’t beaten England in this tie since the turn of the millennium, but tonight is probably their best chance since then.

The home side have plenty of Premier League firepower and are one of Europe’s most in-form sides after winning their first five European Championship qualifiers.

Their midfield has an abundance of talent with McTominay, McGinn and Gilmour and while it may not be on the same level as the English midfield, they have shown that they are more than capable of scoring.

Southgate’s decision to play Rice and Phillips in a double midfield pivot shows that England are wary of the danger and that Jude Bellingham will be the man responsible for adding creativity from deep.

The hosts will focus most of their attention on England tonight, but will also keep an eye on events across the North Sea.

Norway will take on Georgia in a European Championship qualifier in Group A and a draw will see Scotland become the first team to qualify for next year’s competition in Germany.

We’ll keep you posted on the progress in that game.

England players are the first out for their warm-up and have emerged at Hampden Park to loud cheers. The places are already taken and we are still 40 minutes away from kick-off.

There will be a great atmosphere in the stadium as two fierce rivals meet again and England will have to quiet this crowd early or it could be a long night.

Tonight marks the 150th anniversary of the first meeting between the sport’s oldest rivals, with both teams wearing iconic celebration shirts to mark the occasion.

It may only be a friendly match, but FIFA president Gianni Infantino is in town enjoying the atmosphere at Hampden Park. The FIFA head spared the expensive luxury as he flew to Glasgow on an easyJet flight for tonight’s match.

Steve Clarke has named an unchanged team from the team that beat Cyprus with a 3-0 win last time.

Scotland supporters will look to Manchester United’s Scott McTominay to continue his stellar goalscoring run, which has seen him jointly top the rankings for European Championship qualifying goals with six strikes so far.

England will also have to be wary of the midfield threats posed by Billy Gilmour and John McGinn.

STARTXI: Gunn, Hickey, Robertson, McTominay, Tierney, McGinn, McGregor, Adams, Hendry, Gilmour, Porteous

England manager Gareth Southgate has named a strong line-up to take on Scotland, but it may not be the strongest he could have named.

There are rare starts for Lewis Dunk and Kalvin Phillips, while Phil Foden is also drawn back into the fray. Declan Rice will partner Phillips in a midfield pivot, showing Southgate’s wariness of Scotland’s attack.

Jordan Henderson and Harry Maguire are both dropped to the bench, with Bukayo Saka also joining them among the substitutes.

STARTXI: Ramsdale, Walker, Guehi, Dunk, Trippier, Rice, Phillips, Foden, Bellingham, Rashford, Kane.

Good evening and thank you for attending the 150th meeting of the oldest football rivals. Tonight may be seen as a friendly, but it will be anything but that as the two sides clash at Hampden Park in front of a baying crowd. The kick-off is at 7.45 pm.
