SCOTLAND fans have told Gary Lineker to "stick to politics" after he posted a cheeky tweet.
The former England striker took to social media to praise the side's first-half performance against the Scots at Hampden Park.
Gareth Southgate's side went in at half-time with a comfortable 2-0 lead.
England took the lead through Phil Foden before Jude Bellingham doubled the lead just moments later.
And Lineker could not help but share his delight at the performance on Twitter.
He : "This is somewhat delightful."

A third wrote: "Stick to politics, Lineker."
A fourth said: "BOOOOOOOO Gary."
A fifth added: "No it’s not."
While another joked: "It's only a friendly flower."
Southgate had experimented with his side with Lewis Dunk coming in and Kieran Trippier being picked at left-back.
Lineker made 80 appearances for England during his playing career, scoring 48 times.
He had the last laugh as England would go on to win the game 3-1 as Harry Kane netted a winner after Harry Maguire's own goal.
