The international friendly match between Scotland and England will take place at Hampden Park on Wednesday at 12:15 am IST.
The historic 150th Anniversary of the oldest international football fixture will be celebrated on Wednesday as Scotland faces England in an exciting friendly match at Glasgow’s Hampden Park. These two nations first clashed in 1872 at the West of Scotland Cricket Club ground, playing to a goalless draw. Now, they will come together to celebrate that iconic contest on Wednesday night. Scotland has been performing exceptionally well in their Euro 2024 qualification campaign. They have secured five consecutive victories in Group A, leading the section with a significant nine-point advantage over second-placed Spain, although Spain has two games in hand.
Scotland’s strong position in Euro 2024 qualification, aiming for back-to-back European Championships after participating in Euro 2020 (although they didn’t advance past the group stage), adds significance to this friendly match. In their historical encounters with England, Scotland has won 41 times and lost 48 times. The most recent meeting ended in a draw. Despite this match being a friendly, Clarke has assured that his team will approach it with seriousness. On the other hand, England comes into this match after a 1-1 draw with Ukraine.
Although England’s perfect record in their Euro 2024 qualification group is no longer intact, they still comfortably lead Group C, holding a six-point advantage over second-placed Ukraine and nine points ahead of third-placed Italy, who have two games in hand. England will play two friendlies against Scotland and Australia before resuming competitive action at home against Italy in mid-October. The Three Lions have a strong record in friendlies, having won their last 10, including a 3-0 victory over the Ivory Coast in their most recent non-competitive match in March.
Scotland’s probable starting lineup: Gunn, Porteous, Hendry, Tierney, Patterson, S Armstrong, McGregor, Robertson, McTominay, McGinn, Dykes
England’s probable starting lineup: Pickford, Walker, Maguire, Colwill, Chilwell, Gallagher, Rice, Bellingham, Foden, Kane, Rashford
