AND SCOTS WILL GO LONG TOO

- By Simon Bird

GARETH SOUTHGATE has been warned Scotland will be “simple” but “painful” opponents who “kick long balls” when they clash at Wembley.

Czech coach Jaroslav Silhavy said after his side’s 2-0 win: “Scotland played in a simple way, long balls and tackles, and it was painful for us. Scotland kicked long balls at us and we needed a good defensive line.

“We had to get in a good mental shape. We knew they’d tackle and be aggressive.”
