Scotland's Charlie Mulgrew: Beating England would mean everything to me

Gordon Strachan's side could give their World Cup qualifying campaign a shot in the arm when they face the Group F leaders at Hampden.

Mulgrew missed the Wembley defeat in November after injury problems but returned to the team for the victory over Slovenia in March and looks set to start in central defence on Saturday.

The Blackburn player is desperate to be in the first Scotland side to beat the Auld Enemy since Don Hutchison's Wembley winner in 1999.

"It would mean everything to me," the 31-year-old said. "It's something I grew up thinking about, playing these types of games, and I'm sure everyone in the squad has as well.

"It's massive. There's a lot of excitement in the camp. Everyone has grown up watching these games and these are the ones you want to be involved in."

He added: "I remember Don Hutchison scored at Wembley, I remember Euro 96 as well when Gazza scored that goal and did the celebration.

"Watching those games as youngster, your aim is to be involved in them. You probably never think it's going to happen but I'm delighted to be here and get a chance of being involved hopefully.

"To top it off with a victory would be brilliant but we are not thinking too ahead of ourselves. It's a huge challenge ahead, England are a great team and we will be massive underdogs.

"They are a top side, every one of their players is world class so it's going to be difficult for us, but we are up for it and we will be ready for it when the game comes."

However, Mulgrew insists Scotland have the right to be confident. He said: "Everybody is in the Scotland squad because they have confidence in their ability."
