Scotland host England in an 150th Anniversary Heritage Match at Hampden on Tuesday to mark the oldest international rivalry in world football.

The fixture has been arranged to commemorate the first meeting between the two sides in 1872 and is part of the year-long calendar of events from the Scottish FA celebrating the history of the association.

While officially billed as a friendly, the match promises to fiercely competitive as the neighbouring nations meet for the first time in more than two years since a goalless draw at Wembley Stadium during the delayed Euro 2020 Championships.

Both sides are on the cusp of qualification for Euro 2024 and Scotland could even book their place at the tournament in Germany next summer on the same night if Norway and Georgia play out a draw in Oslo.

Confidence is high in both camps with Scotland unbeaten in their last nine competitive matches including uplifiting wins at home to Spain and away to Norway, while England’s only defeat in their last 11 came against France in the World Cup quarter-final in Qatar.

England boast a dominant record in this fixture in modern times with eight wins and just one defeat in the last 12 meetings.
