10 things you need to know ahead of England vs Scotland

For the debutants

England versus Scotland matches have provided some players with their international debuts, and some have revelled in the atmosphere by netting in their first international match.

Sir Bobby Charlton, England’s former record goal-scorer before Wayne Rooney surpassed him in 2015, made his debut against the Scots in April 1958, and the first of 49 England goals in a comfortable 4-0 win.

However, Rickie Lambert bettered that by not only scoring on his international debut against Scotland, but by doing so with his first touch!

The former Southampton and Liverpool striker headed home what turned out to be the winner back in 2013, as England sealed a comeback win over Scotland in their first meeting since 1999.

There are only four players in the two squads still searching for their debuts and, although two of the are goalkeepers (Jordan Pickford and Jack Hamilton), England’s Michael Keane and Aaron Cresswell must be relishing the chance to get on the pitch!
