8 pundits give Scotland vs England verdicts as 'William Wallace moment' lands and Ferdinand spots McSauce 'madness'

For a game that's titled as a friendly, it will likely provide a thunderous edge with bragging rights on the line.

Scotland host England tonight at Hampden as Gareth Southgate's side come to Glasgow to honour the 150th anniversary of the SFA, but the exhibition tag isn't being applied by supporters. Punters attending the clash and those at home are desperate to see their team win and Steve Clarke's men are riding high ahead of it after maintaining their 100 per cent Euro 2024 qualifying record up last week against Cyprus.

The Three Lions meanwhile are coming under fresh criticism after a 1-1 draw with Ukraine, and they won't want another slip-up against Clarke's high-flying side. But with the wind in their sails, Scotland will fancy their chances of causing some more misery for the Auld Enemy and pundits north and south of the border have had their say on the clash.

The former Scotland boss insists there is NO way his side will lose the match, and he has a message for Newcastle duo Elliot Anderson and Harvey Barnes too as both swither on playing for the Tartan Army. He told Gambling Zone: "This is going to be a fiery game. We’ve got two teams playing each other that have both done incredibly well in recent times. Two team that are powerful, they’ll be some great players on the pitch and both of the sides are very comfortable with their shape and tactics. Both teams are in a good place, Scotland in particular. I don’t think Scotland will get beat. I don’t think that we will get beat whatsoever.

"If you don’t feel Scottish, then don’t play. I would want to know what the history is there. Has Barnes turned down the offer before? If he has been asked in the past and said no, then you have to think why does he want to play
