Graeme Souness has slated Scotland's lack of aggression during their Hampden defeat to England last night.
Steve Clarke's side were outclassed in Glasgow as Gareth Southgate's side ran out 3-1 winners thanks to goals from Phil Foden, Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane.
Scotland were simply second best in front of a sell-out crowd, and Souness, who was in the Channel 4 studio, was ultimately left disappointed with Clarke's side.
He said: "It was a friendly. If nothing else you have to empty someone, take a card, get the crowd involved. This is a passionate football crowd and we gave them nothing to shout about tonight.
"I accept that England are a fabulous team but from a Scotland point of view, they couldn't get the crowd involved because they didn't want to show the required aggression for me. It is a friendly, but it's a Scotland-England game. And when I see in this game players picking each other up off the ground...it shouldn't happen in this game, sorry.
"It was a sobering night for Scotland, there's an enormous gap between the teams right now. This is a wake-up call for the players. They won't sleep tonight."
Steve Clarke stressed Scotland’s feelgood factor should remain fully intact despite a 3-1 Hampden Park defeat to England.
When asked how he would go about making sure the 150th anniversary defeat did not dent the feelgood factor, Clarke said: “It hasn’t gone. In the competitive group we are in – five wins, 15 points.
“I told the lads the camp has been a success. The most important thing in this camp was to get three points in Cyprus. We achieved that.
“It would have been nice to get a positive result against England to make it even better but the objective of what we came in to do has been done.
“Obviously we didn’t want to lose to our Auld Enemy but on the night England were better.
“Sometimes you need to take your medicine in football and we will take our medicine and try to improve.
“We knew playing against England was going to be difficult, playing Spain away is going to be difficult, playing France away is going to be difficult.
“But if you want to learn as a team you have to play against good opposition so we have to go away and learn the lessons and try to be better.
“This group have always shown they are pretty good in a little bit of adversity, they have always bounced back in good shape, so hopefully next month they can do that.”
