Wayne Rooney captains England in Friday night's 2018 World Cup qualification match at home to Scotland.

Wayne Rooney will captain England in Friday night's 2018 World Cup qualification match at home to Scotland.

The Manchester United skipper appeared to have lost his place in Gareth Southgate's selection following a drop in form, but England's record goalscorer returns to the XI for the Group F clash.

Eric Dier and Jordan Henderson retain their places in the middle of the park, while Daniel Sturridge keeps his position at the tip of the attack despite the return of Harry Kane, who is back in the squad following injury.

As for Scotland, Celtic's Leigh Griffiths will lead the line in a team that shows eight changes from the defeat in Slovakia last month.

Scott Brown returns after coming out of international retirement, while Darren Fletcher will captain Gordon Strachan's side once again on what will be his 77th international appearance.

Robert Snodgrass and James Forrest, meanwhile, are given wide midfield positions for the visitors tonight.
