Scotland vs England preview
England visit Hampden Park this Tuesday night as part of the 150th anniversary celebrations of the oldest international fixture in football.
The special heritage friendly sees two sides in really solid form meet, with plenty of familiar faces across both sides of the divide.
Gareth Southgate's men come here off the back of a 1-1 draw away to Ukraine in Euro 2024 qualifying, which ended their 100% record in the group.
The Three Lions boss made a number of surprising selection picks in his starting line-up and could look to freshen things up here.
Despite it not being a competitive fixture, it's clearly not one Southgate or his England side will want to lose, so it'll be interesting to see the team he goes with.
Particularly given the rich form Scotland are in at present under Steve Clarke, after their 3-0 win in Cyprus last week made it five wins from five in qualifying.
It also made it 11 straight wins in qualifiers (World Cup & Euros) which is the longest of any European side.
Their side is stacked full of Premier League quality and in front of a packed home crowd, they'll be right up for it.
They could also become the first - and only - side to qualify for next summer's Euros during this international break, if Norway and Georgia draw while the England match takes place.
The last two games between the sides has finished a draw and it could be another tight one here.

Scotland vs England betting tips
Kane to score, McTominay carded and Over 2.5 goals in the match at 9/1 -
Harry Kane had a rare off-night in front of goal for England over the weekend and will look to make that right here.
He scored a late, late equaliser on his last Hampden visit and will be eager to do so again here.
Scott McTominay has been a Scotland revelation and no player has scored more goals in Euro 2024 qualifying than the Manchester United outcast. He's also had the most goal involvements.
But he's got a real point to prove and with Scotland likely not to see too much of the ball, he'll need to rely on his ball-winning.
Both teams to score in the first half at 7/2 -
Scotland have a mightily fine defensive record as of late, but the Cyprus win wasn't without it's early scares.
And England could exploit any slip-ups at the back early on here.
Both teams scored in the opening 45 minutes of that Ukraine draw over the weekend and it could be something similar here.
