    Just a nice early marker from Lyndon Dykes. Putting himself about, I don't mind seeing that at all.

    Seven seconds on the clock and Lyndon Dykes wipes out Luke Shaw going for a high ball. No foul, just a robust challenge.

  3. KICK-OFFpublished at 20:00 British Summer Time 18 June 2021

    England 0-0 Scotland

    Here we go. The 100th competitive fixture between the oldest rivals in world football.

    England will qualify for the knockout stage with a win, while Scotland are seeking to keep their hopes of progressing alive.

    Not a lot of respect for the respective anthems really. But you got a real sense of how outnumbered the Scotland fans are there. The players are ready to go. Let's do this!

    The national anthems are out of the way.

    Plenty of booing for both. As it should be on these occasions.

    The atmosphere as kick-off approaches is incredible. Spine-tinglingly so. I can't begin to imagine how noisy it would have been if we'd been allowed a full house. Anyway, it's great to have fans back at the games again and hopefully we're in for a cracker.

    The boffins at Gracenote have been running the numbers again.

    Pre-tournament, the sports data company gave Scotland a 57% chance of progressing to the last 16. That has now dropped to a mere 20%.

    England have nudged up from 97% to 99.6%.

    Gracenote give the home side a 78% chance of beating Scotland tonight and rate their hopes of going all the way at 13%, making them third favourites behind France and Belgium.

    The most recent meeting of these old rivals came at Hampden four years ago in a quite remarkable World Cup qualifier.

    England led 1-0 with three minutes to go, thanks to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

    By full-time it was 2-2 and Scotland fans had experienced the giddiest of highs followed by a crushing blow as Leigh Griffiths banged in two of the best free-kicks ever witnessed at the national stadium, only for a Harry Kane to pop up with a stoppage-time equaliser.

    Well that's the rain back on just in time for kick off. A nice, slick surface for Scotland to ping the ball about and get that long-awaited win here. As long as the rain is off by full-time because, I'll be honest, I didn't bring a jacket to London.

  10. 'We respect England but don't fear them' - Clarkepublished at 19:50 British Summer Time 18 June 2021

    England v Scotland (20:00)

    Scotland head coach Steve Clarke urges his team to play with "fire in your belly and ice in your brain".

    Speaking to STV, Clarke says of his team selection: "Coming here and playing two strikers is brave. We have three central defenders at the other end so it's a bit mix and match. We try to cause England as many problems as we can.

    "England are among the favourites to win the tournament, a good team, we respect them but don't fear them."

    On handing 20-year-old midfielder Billy Gilmour his first start, Clarke adds: "He brings good ball possession. Billy likes to get on the ball and make his team play. He's done it for Chelsea and I'm sure he can do it for Scotland as well."

  11. Painful memories of Gazza's great goalpublished at 19:47 British Summer Time 18 June 2021

    I guess we have to address the issue of what happened the last time Scotland went to Wembley during a European Championship.

    It was Euro 96 and it did not go well.

    Craig Brown's side were undone by misfortune and a moment of brilliance, with Paul Gascoigne scoring a memorable solo goal just 90 seconds after a Gary McAllister penalty had been saved, with the ball rolling slightly off the spot during his run up.

    Alan Shearer had opened the scoring with a second-half header.

    And that's Scotland away up the tunnel to the sounds of 'Yes Sir, I Can Boogie'. Fair play to the DJ, who's making the Scotland fans feel at home. England also trotting off the pitch for some final words of wisdom. There's a real buzz of expectation around Wembley now.

    There's no point in Scotland coming here and thinking 'England are a good side let's just let them have the ball'.

    An underdog can have their day.

  16. Hutchison gives England a scarepublished at 19:40 British Summer Time 18 June 2021

    England v Scotland (20:00)

    And what about our most recent win at Wembley?

    That came in 1999 in the second leg of a Euro 2000 play-off a few days England had won 2-0 at Hampden.

    Don Hutchison knocked in a header late in the first half but England would hold on as David Seaman made a great save to repel a late Christian Dailly header.

    One of those glorious failures, I'm afraid.

    England v Scotland (20:00)

    England had won the 1966 World Cup on the same Wembley pitch and had put together a 20-game unbeaten run but Jim Baxter & co had other ideas.

    On 15 April 1967, Denis Law, Bobby Lennox and debutant Jim McCalliog were on target, while Jackie Charlton and Geoff Hurst scored for England, but the abiding image is of Baxter's cocky keepie-uppies as the visitors turned on the style.

    Of those nine victories at the home of English football, some are more memorable than others.

    The first and biggest came in 1928, with Alec Jackson scoring a hat-trick and Alex James adding two in a 5-1 success.

    A contender for Scotland's famous win but what is often forgotten is that is was a game to avoid the wooden spoon in the Home Internationals.
