LAST TIME OUT

Doesn’t this feel like a long time ago?

Daniel Sturridge – the forgotten man – netting as England swept aside Scotland in World Cup 2018 qualifying.

Three Lions fans will be hoping for more of the same tonight…

TARTAN BARMY

Sir Alex Ferguson has arrived at Wembley to cheer on his beloved Scotland… but the Man Utd legend was refused VIP parking.

Fergie, 79, had a brief stint as boss of Scotland in 1985 but left the role after failing to qualify from their World Cup group a year later.

Despite his remarkable success in football, it appears he wasn’t handed the red carpet treatment in North London.

Ferguson was chauffeured to the home of football around four hours before kick-off.

But he wasn’t greeted with the warmest of welcomes when a steward turned him away from the VIP parking.

GREAL ISSUE

Former England winger Paul Merson believes Jack Grealish does NOT fit into England’s formation and it would cause a ‘problem’ to play him tonight.

Gareth Southgate won plenty of praise from the former Arsenal man over his selection for the Euro 2020 opening win over Croatia.

He told Sky Sports: “Southgate has to be careful with his selection against Scotland as he does not want to bring unwanted pressure on himself by making too many changes.

“If he brings in Jack Grealish and he rips it up, people are going to want him to play every game. But he will not play against Scotland.

“If you play Phil Foden, Grealish, and Mason Mount all in the same team, then when will England be getting the ball back?

“Sterling played well, Foden showed glimpses, Harry Kane struggled as he kept on coming short into a packed midfield, where he was never going to find space, he needed to go the other way and stay up top if he wants to get involved with the team.

“We just need to get him chances, but even if he does not score in his first four games of the tournament, he will still play in the fifth.”

FITS THE BILL

A ‘leaked’ Scotland team has emerged on social media ahead of tonight’s Euro 2020 crunch with England – and it contains Chelsea star Billy Gilmour.

The former Rangers kid has yet to start a match for his country but social media is ablaze with suggestions that he will be thrown into the heat of battle against the Auld Enemy.

The team sees David Marshall starting in goal, with Stephen O’Donnell keeping his place at right back.

Kieran Tierney is apparently a starter on the left side of a back three, while it is claimed that Scott McTominay and Grant Hanley will be fielded alongside him.

According to the ‘leaked’ team, Che Adams comes in alongside Lyndon Dykes up top.

Time will tell – we’re expecting concrete team news around 6.45pm.

LOUD AND PROUD

There will be 22,500 fans in Wembley tonight, with Scotland allocated 2,600 for a lucky selection of away supporters.

Expect them to make a din, no matter how many are in the ground.

HEAD-TO-HEAD

Here’s how England and Scotland look in the head-to-head stakes.

The teams have actually met just once in tournament football, when Gazza famously inspired England to a 2-0 win at Euro 96.

England have the superior head-to-head record but not by as much as recent results would suggest.

They have won 48 of the meetings between the two sides, compared to Scotland’s 41 triumphs.

Last time the two sides met, Harry Kane netted a last minute equaliser for England in World Cup qualifying at Hampden.

Leight Griffiths thought he had done enough to earn Scotland a stunning win by curling in two free kicks before Kane popped up to secure a 2-2 draw.

MEMORY LANE

You’ve got to go back 25 years for the last time England face Scotland at a major tournament.

And we all know what happened then…

SOUTHGATE TALKS

The boss has been talking to the media and it looks like Raheem Sterling will keep his place after deciding the game against Croatia.

“Well I think any tournament the fall out from the first game is always massive, good or bad.

“I liked the way we settled so quickly for a team that weren’t able to play together in the friendlies.

“Throughout the game, our defending from front to back was excellent and I thought our forwards, and in particular our wide players, Raheem stood out.

“In terms of cutting the angles off, his tackling back, and I know people don’t want to hear coaches talking about that from wingers, but it’s a reality of the game.”

THE BIG ONE

A match 25 years in the making, England vs Scotland finally meet again tonight a major tournament.

It doesn’t get much better than this.

Wembley is all set to host the Group D showdown later this evening, with the Tartan Army still streaming into the capital to support their boys.

The Three Lions come into the game knowing victory will see them into the knockout stages after beating Croatia 1-0 in their opening game.

Things aren’t so rosey for the Scots however, who can no longer come here and try frustrate the hosts.

Defeat to Czech Republic will have David Marshall having nightmare about Patrick Schick for the rest of his days – unless the Scots can spring a big shock tonight.

England are 1/4 favourites on home soil, with 22,500 lucky fans allowed inside the stadium this evening.

Scotland have brought the weather with them and it’s set to be a game played in damp, drizzly conditions.

We wouldn’t have it any other way.

After all the waiting, the countdown to kick-off at 8pm starts now.
