Rangers boss Michael Beale shared the post on his social media pages with a St. George flag and red, white and blue emojis.
Southgate is looking forward to another really good test and “important learning step” as England head to Scotland for their first friendly in 18 months.
“We can have everybody in the squad involved for the next one,” Southgate said after 16 successive competitive matches, covering last year’s Nations League campaign, the 2022 World Cup and this qualifying campaign.
“We’ll assess everybody over there over the next 24 to 48 hours because it’s another really good test.
“Another hostile environment, a team that are playing really well.
“You know, they’re in great form, full of confidence so it’s another important learning step for us.”
The nations last faced one another in June 2021, when they played out a hard-fought 0-0 draw at Wembley in the European Championship group stage.
Scotland, like England, are on the cusp of qualification for next summer’s Euros, with Friday’s 3-0 triumph in Cyprus extending their outstanding winning start in Group A to a fifth match.
