Really looking forward to this, the Jocks have been in excellent form recently and were unlucky losers at Wembley last year. England on a good run as well without really having to extend themselves. I have a sneaking feeling the Jocks might just nick this...

Me too - following the UEFA Euro 2016 qualifiers, this match should provide a better indication of how far this England team has progressed since their disastrous World Cup campaign. It will also be a good test playing in a relatively hostile environment. When the dust settles, I predict 3-1 England.
 
Not the team I was hoping for from England. Id have liked to see Barkley start for sure.

Terrible PA system meant that both sets of fans and players were out of sinc with the anthems. This is the Scots' cup final and I wouldn't be at all surprised to see them win against an England team without 4 or 5 first choice players.
 
Smalling and Downing are managing to make Jagielka and Henderson look like International footballers!

Nasty one by Naysmith on Shaw.

England look the better side, but Scotland look more up for it, which isn't a surprise tbh.

England (especially when all the first choice players are in the side) are tailor made as a counter-attacking team. The more Scotland push on to them, the more chance there is of England punishing them on the break.
 
Had to stifle a big cheer there as Mrs Monkey walked in the room just as Ox scored! (She's from just down the road from Celtic Park and was asking how Scotland were getting on!)
 
The difference in class is showing, Scotland huffing and puffing but not really producing anything. They've got to have a go and that leaves them vulnerable to our pace...

Imagine if we had Sterling and La La in there instead of the awful Downing and almost as poor Milner!

Great to hear the England fans singing loud and proud at Celtic Park. Sing up boys!!
 
Scotland just haven't got a key but you can't argue their work rate is top class
I like their left back he has shown some good vision here and there
England far more inventive whereas the Scottish look the same all over the pitch ... Solid but not enough yet their set plays have good invention
