England have beaten Scotland 3-1 on the 150th anniversary of the fixture between the two oldest international rivals in the game.

Goals from Phil Foden, Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane gave the Three Lions the bragging rights at Glasgow's Hampden Park.

Scotland netted through an own goal by Harry Maguire but were left disappointed in a game that was far from a friendly in nature.

Before kick-off, Scottish fans booed England as they sang God Save The King. The Tartan Army then bellowed their own anthem, Flower Of Scotland.

There was a moment's silence for as a mark of respect for late Scotland manager Craig Brown and those affected by the events in Morocco and Libya - though jeers were heard from sections of the stadium.

The 116th edition of the fixture ended in defeat for the Scots and tarnished their five match winning streak.

And Norway's win over Georgia in their group means they have not guaranteed their place at next summer's Euros yet.

They haven't lost in the fixture since 1999.

England boss Gareth Southgate said his team had been "playing pretty well" adding that they showed "a really good performance tonight".

Scottish coach Steve Clarke remarked on the rivalry with the "Auld Enemy" but admitted "on the night England were better".

Clarke said: "It would have been nice to get a positive result against England to make it even better but the objective of what we came in to do has been done.

"Sometimes you need to take your medicine in football and we will take our medicine and try to improve."
