Scotland v England: Why Gareth Southgate's side are facing old rivals in a friendly and how to watch on TV

England and Scotland first met in 1872, when their clash at the West of Scotland Cricket Club ground kickstarted international football as we know it.

Admission that day cost one shilling but fans were not rewarded with a goal feast – the match ended goalless.

In celebration of that fixture’s 150th anniversary, Scotland and England will go head-to-head once again.

It will be the first meeting of the sides since Euro 2020, when the result was the same as it was in 1872.

Although both sides are all but qualified for Euro 2024, the friendly offers Scotland a chance to maintain momentum.

It also has potential to be an evening of Scottish celebration regardless of the result, as a draw between Norway and Georgia would book Scotland’s place at Euro 2024.

For England, it is an opportunity to bounce back from the frustration of being held to a draw by Ukraine at the weekend.
