Scotland vs England: When is international friendly and how to watch

Gareth Southgate’s England complete their September international break schedule with a friendly against old rivals Scotland.

The match has been scheduled to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the first meeting between the two football nations in 1872.

That contest was recognised by Fifa as football’s first-ever international match, with 4,000 supporters in attendance at the West of Scotland Cricket Club in Glasgow.

This is all you need to know about the latest encounter between England and Scotland.

When is it?

The game on Tuesday, September 12 and will kick off at 7.45pm British Summer Time. For England, the fixture follows Saturday’s Euro 2024 qualifier against Ukraine in Poland.

Where is the game being played?

At Hampden Park in Glasgow, which is Scotland’s national football stadium.

What TV channel is it on?

Like England’s qualification games, the Scotland friendly will be on Channel 4.

What is the recent head-to-head record?

There was no game between England and Scotland for 14 years at the start of the century, but there have been more in recent years.

England and Scotland were in the same qualification group for the 2018 World Cup, with England winning 3-0 at home but requiring a last-gasp Harry Kane goal to spare them a defeat at Hampden.

The two teams played at the 2020 (delayed until 2021) European Championship, with Scotland earning plenty of plaudits for their display in a goalless draw at Wembley.
