    More from Hodgson on 5 live: "I think some players will just have to wait their turn. Ross Barkley has only just come back from injury, Saido Berahino has done well for the under-21s but he's competing with people like Rickie Lambert and Theo Walcott.

    "It's not just the goals with Wayne Rooney, is it? It's his workrate, his understanding of what we're trying to do, it's his influence on the field. Tonight, aside from his goals, his passing was very good, his movement was excellent, his runs into the channels were something that we'd worked on and was very, very good, and his retention of the ball was excellent despite playing against two strong central defenders. So he will be delighted with his game, but I must also mention Danny Welbeck - I thought he was equally as good.

    "With those two at the moment we have an interesting duo and a potent attacking force, made even more potent when Daniel Sturridge comes back from injury."

    England coach Roy Hodgson on 5 live Sport: "I think my team really enjoyed the atmosphere. Both sets of fans were incredible, and ours made so much noise in the game. My concentration as always is on the field of play and on there we established control and I thought there were very few periods in the game where we didn't have full control.

    "That performance is right up there. There were times today when we worked high up the field and there was some really good combination and attacking play, and every time we lost the ball we won it back so quickly. There was some incredible effort there. And defensively we were very solid.

    "We'll take this into the New Year and we're very happy about it, but we also know that in 18 months' time in France we'll have to be every bit as good as this, if not better.

    "These players can continue working together on their game and on their play together, and we can get better, not least because so many players are so young and by France 2016 they will have so many more football matches under their belts."

  7. Sturridge latestpublished at 22:29 Greenwich Mean Time 18 November 2014

    Liverpool and England striker Daniel Sturridge has suffered a new injury setback in training.

    The 25-year-old injured his thigh on Tuesday and is expected to have a scan on Wednesday.

    Sturridge, who scored 25 times last season, has played just three Premier League games this term and only returned to full training last week.

    He suffered a thigh strain while with England in September before picking up a calf strain in training in October.

    Liverpool have won only four times in 14 matches without the former Chelsea and Manchester City forward and currently find themselves in 11th place.

    England coach Roy Hodgson on Sky Sports: "It was certainly a good performance from the team. We have a lot of young players and we talked before the game about the atmosphere and support Scotland get here. We handled that well and I thought our fans were fantastic, and they gave a good account of themselves. Towards the end of the game I was very aware of their presence.

    "Wayne Rooney is one of just a few elder players, so he is very important. I thought young Chris Smalling had a good game and James Milner was really good in the midfield, and we're getting a situation where a lot of players with not very many caps are supported by the more experienced players.

    "Wayne Rooney must be pleased with his contribution, picking up his 100th cap at the weekend then leading the team to a win tonight.

    "Jack Wilshere can play in a number of positions, but at the moment Jack's stepped up to the plate and is playing extremely well. He's got to be delighted with his autumn - I hope he carries that forward not only for us but for his club side Arsenal."

    Scotland manager Gordon Strachan on Sky Sports: "The last year has been good to us. We got together 10 days ago after having improved as a unit throughout the year and our objective was to get three points against a good Ireland side. We got that and we're pleased, but we're disappointed to end our year with this defeat.

    "A couple of factors made that the case tonight, and one was a determined and intense England side. We've got to say well done to England, a team full of Champions League players.

    "We're a team a little mentally and physically tired after Ireland. We could have passed the ball better and England tested us in that department, that's for sure., We took on a terrific England side, as good as I've seen them play for a while.

    "We needed 10 or 11 players to play well, but if you went into my dressing room now and asked who played well not many would put their hands up. But we got what we wanted, the three points in our group against the Republic of Ireland."

    "Nathaniel Clyne is such a good defender. Southampton have been such a good side this season and he can continue to learn. Tonight, in front of a crazy atmosphere, he performed really, really well.

    "After Ikechi Anya did him for pace once very early on, Clyne's defending was immaculate and he didn't get done once more. That is the sign of a good defender."

    Scotland midfielder Darren Fletcher: "We are disappointed, we didn't do ourselves justice. We could have been more patient and passed it better and I think the occasion got the better of us.

    "It was a derby match and we wanted to do everyone proud. We lost goals at bad times. Maybe it shows the character from England, you've got to give yourself a chance in games like this.

    "We have to learn that we have a way of playing, patient football and being resilient and tough to beat. We have to get back to that but the three points against Ireland were the most important."

    England captain Wayne Rooney on Sky Sports: "It's a great victory for us tonight. We spoke about the atmosphere before the game and it was terrific. We had to show our character tonight. Scotland started quickly but we showed our ability with the ball and our mental strength. After we scored the first goal I thought we controlled the game.

    "When Scotland got their goal back it could have been a bit edgy, but we responded fantastically. It was a great victory and a great performance.

    "That game is great for the fans and fantastic to play in - it's not my decision but it'd be great for us to play more games like this.

    "Tonight it was very special for me, to score two goals for England in Scotland at Celtic Park."

    "And this England team came become very, very special. I have seen something tonight. When the passion is all around the stadium these players can do it."
