Hampden rematch with England depends on European Championship draw

Discussions regarding a return match between Scotland and England at Hampden Park are believed to have taken place.

However, the date for any match is dependent on the qualifying draw for the 2016 European Championship, which takes place in February.

The two countries met on Wednesday night at Wembley for the first time in 14 years to celebrate the Football Association’s 150th anniversary year, with England coming from behind twice to win 3-2 in front of 80,000 fans.

While there is widespread appetite for the fixture to become a regular part of the international calendar again, particularly north of the border, the Scottish Football Association’s friendly strategy for a two-year period will hinge on the European draw to be made in France.

If England and Scotland were drawn in the same group, then that would obviously negate the need for a friendly fixture. Prospects of a reverse game in Glasgow were enhanced by the good behaviour of over 20,000 of the Tartan Army in London.

The SFA’s security and integrity officer, David Brand, paid tribute to the travelling fans for their “impeccable” behaviour.

Having received a full debrief from his FA counterpart, Police Scotland, Metro-politan Police and the British Transport Police, believes the reputation of the Scotland fans was enhanced further.

He said: “Firstly, on behalf of my colleagues at the Scottish FA and the network of people responsible for the security provision around the game I would like to thank supporters for showing their passion and commitment in an exemplary manner.

“In speaking to all relevant authorities last night and again this morning, the general consensus is that the Scotland fans’ behaviour throughout was impeccable.

“I know the fans would like to see the fixture played more regularly and I firmly believe that the excitement created in London and the atmosphere generated inside Wembley can only enhance the prospect of a return match at Hampden Park in the not-too-distant future.”

Hamish Husband, spokesman for the West of Scotland Tartan Army, said: “The atmosphere in London was great, the England fans mixed pretty well with the Scotland fans and I hope and trust that welcome would be reciprocated in Glasgow

“But I don’t think I would want it every year.”

The Football Association yesterday refused to comment on the prospect of a rematch in Glasgow.
