England
There will be fireworks when Scotland and England face each other at Hampden Park in a highly-anticipated friendly. The Scotts are enjoying EURO 2024 qualifying campaign to remember, with the team keeping their 100% record intact thanks to a routine win over Cyprus. As Steve Clark is likely to rest several first-team regulars in Tuesday’s friendly, all Christie, Armstrong, McLean, Dykes, and Patterson are pushing for a start.
The Three Lions, on the other hand, played out a 1-1 draw with Ukraine in their last qualifying match, with the team moving one step closer to securing their spot at the next year European Championship finals. Marcus Rashford is widely expected to return to the starting XI as well as Man City midfielder Phil Foden, while the likes of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Reece James, Tyrone Mings, Mason Mount, Luke Shaw, and John Stones have been ruled out with injuries. Anyhow, the share of spoils is on the cards as both sides are likely to adopt a cautious approach in the Hampden Park showdown.
Highlighted Player (Marcus Rashford):
Marcus Rashford is one of the most talented English footballers. Rashford was born in Wythenshawe, Manchester on October 31, 1997 and he began his youth career at Fletcher Moss Rangers. Manchester United scouts spotted him in 2005 when he joined the famous Premier League club.
The pacey footballer, who is capable of playing as both winger and striker, marked his Manchester United first-team debut with two goals in a 5-1 crushing of Midtjylland in the Europa League.
Marcus Rashford scored seven goals in 35 appearances for the Red Devils in the 2017/2018 Premier League season. Speaking of his international debut, the Manchester United attacker played his first match for England against Australia on May 27, 2016 and he did well to find the net in a 2-1 win over the Socceroos.
After producing fine displays with Manchester United in the 2017/2018 season, Marcus Rashford was named in the 23-man England national team squad that will take part in the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
Highlighted Team (Scotland):
Despite being part of United Kingdom Scotland participate in football competitions as an independent country. The Scots qualified for the 1950 FIFA World Cup finals, but the SFA eventually withdrew their entry as they were not British champions. Four years later Scotland national football team participated at the showpiece tournament in Switzerland, but they were eliminated in the group stages.
Scotland booked their place at the FIFA World Cup on eight occasions, but they have not played a match at the finals of the major tournament since 1998. On the other hand, the Scotts participated at both Euro 1992 and Euro 1996, but they failed to qualify for the knockout stages at the tournaments in Sweden and England respectively. A number of Premier League stars played for the Scotland national football team in the past and Jim Baxter, Hughie Gallacher, John Greig, Jimmy Johnstone, Billy McNeill, Bobby Murdoch, Archie Gemmill and Lawrie Reilly are the footballers who made more than 50 appearances for Scotland, with Alan Hutton and Scott Brown joining the list recently.
The Scotts recorded their biggest win back in February 23, 1901, with the team rolling over Ireland 11-0. The team suffered their biggest defeat against Uruguay (0-7) in June, 1954. Gordon Strachan’s team welcome their opponents at Hampden Park.
