Southgate calls for calm heads from England against Scotland<\/h3>\n

Gareth Southgate has revealed he used to be a Scotland fan as he prepares for the latest instalment of the Battle of Britain at Hampden. But the England manager said that thoughts the Three Lions might use the so-called friendly to experiment as \u201cridiculous\u201d.<\/p>\n

The prestige international friendly to celebrate Scottish football\u2019s 150th anniversary will see a few changes from Southgate, but he will not be carried away. \u201cYou cannot overly experiment because that would be ridiculous,\u201d Southgate said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have got to be strong because they are a good team and we are coming into an environment where you have got to have the personality to play. We do want to find some things out as well.<\/p>\n

But this will be something that is different to what all of those who were not in the last England vs Scotland encounter will not have faced.\u201d Southgate was part of the last team to lose to Scotland in 1999 and winding the clock back further, it turns out he even used to cheer England\u2019s traditional rivals on.<\/p>\n

DON’T MISS: <\/strong> England’s Kyle Walker almost retired twice before Gareth Southgate intervened<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is horrendous what I’m going to say here ahead of tomorrow, but I was supporting Scotland in the 1978 World Cup because obviously we hadn’t qualified,\u201d the 53-year-old said. \u201cThey were a British team – I didn\u2019t realise it all then.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe weren\u2019t in the World Cup in 1974, we weren\u2019t in 1978, so you just got your sticker album and did what you did. I soon saw the error of my ways.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cWe know how important this is for us. I think the stories are handed down and the history is handed down. I think both teams recognise that. And both will be trying to find the right balance of competing and being composed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s always the big challenge on these sorts of days. Every England vs Scotland game are really intense encounters. They\u2019ve always had good players. They\u2019ve now got a very good team. They\u2019re great occasions to be part of.\u201d<\/p>\n
