Scotland and England to meet at Hampden next year
 

Scotland will host England at Hampden on 12 September, 2023 as part of the 150th anniversary celebrations of their first match in 1872.

That game, played at the West of Scotland Cricket Ground in Glasgow, which ended 0-0, is recognised by Fifa as the world's oldest international.

Next year's game will be the first between the pair since a goalless draw in June 2021 at Wembley at Euro 2020.

"This fixture is enshrined in history," said Scotland manager Steve Clarke.

"I will be proud to lead our team out at Hampden as part of the 150th anniversary celebrations of our national game.

"This next chapter of the oldest rivalry in football will be a special occasion for our players and fans, especially after the recent experience at Wembley during Euro 2020."

England and Scotland last met at Hampden in 2017, with the match ending in a 2-2 draw and all four goals coming in the final quarter of the game. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain put England 1-0 ahead but they needed an injury-time Harry Kane goal to draw the game after Scotland's Leigh Griffiths scored two late free-kicks.

"Any meeting with Scotland is always special," said England boss Gareth Southgate.

"Ourselves and Scotland are the oldest of rivals and passions are sure to be high at Hampden, but this milestone is much bigger than our two nations as it's also an opportunity to celebrate 150 years of international football," he added.

The Football Association also announced England will play their home Euro 2024 qualifier against North Macedonia at Old Trafford on 19 June.

Just as long as there is strong Rangers representation, then it should be a stroll in the park :smug:

My turn to smash an english mans face with my fist for no reason whatsoever.

Karma to grimsby.

I was going to say England players better hope its Ajax fans (excellent and very very loud all game) who come and support them and not Liverpool (one chant sung 2wice and like a murmur) but then i remembered Liverpool fans dont support England, only Eire

:smug:

Nicola well be moist.

when is she not?

When alex had his hand half way up her evening dress.

It's difficult to get up against these small teams. I'm sure when Rangers play against a McEwans Sunday league 7th division team, in the 3rd round of the cup, that fans aren't singing all game when they're only there to see how many goals you can score.

no its just LIverpool have awful fans who dont get behind the club

they were genuinely the wrst we have hosted in Europe for years and in forums around Europe they get called out all the time

:joker:

they were gash, im not joking

If i were to mark Ajax and LIverpool out of 20

Ajax 17

LIverpool 3

no songs, no Tifo, no drums, no ultras

just a few thousand fat perms and dads


unacceptable in 2022

Ajax have great fans, so I'd give them at least 19.

Don't tell me LT has turned into an......




ULTRA...hes to old, surely!

or Arsenal and PSV fans, respectful towards each other


loved them also clapping for one of our fans whom recently died in a horrible carcrash (only 25 yrs old too :()
