England's last five wins in Scotland

Ahead of tonight's meeting at Celtic Park, Sports Mole looks back on England's last five wins in Scotland.

This evening, England travel to Celtic Park to take on their oldest rivals Scotland in an international friendly.

Of late, the Three Lions have a positive record North of the border, having lost on just one of their last eight trips.

Ahead of tonight's clash, Sports Mole has looked back on England's last five victories on Scottish soil.


1. Scotland 0-1 England, May 1978

England had already sealed the British Home Championship title when they made the trip to Hampden Park, yet that didn't stop them from returning home with a 1-0 victory. The largely uneventful contest seemed destined to end in a scoreless draw, but Manchester United winger Steve Coppell's first international goal seven minutes from time secured the win.


2. Scotland 0-2 England, May 1980

Unlike two years earlier, England headed to Scotland knowing that they were unable to catch leaders Wales in the four-nation British Home Championship. That didn't dampen the mood for Coppell, though, as he scored another goal against the Scots when he pounced on an error from goalkeeper Alan Rough. His effort made it 2-0 after Trevor Brooking had opened the scoring from close range with only eight minutes played.



3. Scotland 0-1 England, May 1982

Another British Home Championship encounter, but on this occasion both teams had a chance of winning the trophy. A win for either would have seen them finish top of the standings, while a draw favoured England. It was the 100th match between these two rivals, which was decided by Ipswich Town frontman Paul Mariner, who bundled the ball into the net after Terry Butcher's header had rebounded off the crossbar.



4. Scotland 0-2 England, May 1989

In the short-lived Rous Cup, no player made more appearances in the tournament than Chris Waddle. It was the winger that broke the deadlock in the 20th minute when he sent a diving header beyond the reach of Jim Leighton. The outcome was then settled in the 82nd minute courtesy of debutant Steve Bull, who fired a low shot into the bottom corner of Leighton's net.



5. Scotland 0-2 England, November 1999

Having been made to play out of position for parts of his England career, it's probably fair to say that Paul Scholes does not look back on his time as an international footballer with great fondness. However, his afternoon at Hampden Park in 1999 is bound to bring back positive memories as the midfielder scored both goals in the first half, which ultimately sent his country through to Euro 2000.
