Scotland announce England friendly as Auld Enemies set to mark 150th anniversary with Hampden showdown

The SFA have announced Scotland will face England next year to mark the 150th anniversary of their first ever match.

The two sides first faced off in 1872 and have since enjoyed one of the most famous international rivalries in football. They last met at Euro 2020 with Steve Clarke 's team battling to a 0-0 draw with Gareth Southgate's side, who went on to lose to Italy in the final.

But they will meet at Hampden on Tuesday September 12, with kick-off at 7.45pm, in a special one-off heritage game to mark the occasion. Scottish FA President Rod Petrie said: “We look forward to welcoming England to Hampden Park to celebrate one of sport’s oldest rivalries as we mark 150 years of Scottish football. Everyone who enjoys Scottish football today – in any capacity – owes a debt of gratitude to the pioneers of international football, in whose footsteps we are fortunate to follow.
