The Last England – Scotland Match

Scotland won the last match back on 17th November 1999. A Don Hutchison header sealed a 1-0 victory in Wembley’s ‘final’ match before the stadium’s redevelopment during the Euro 2000 playoff between the teams.

Sadly, the victory wasn’t enough to progress to Euro 2000 at the expense of England, as the “Auld Enemy” won the first leg 2-0 due to a Paul Scholes double at Hampden Park.

Scotland actually had the better record in the group stages of qualification with three wins, one draw and two losses providing a total of 10 points. England qualified with a total of seven points, with one win, four draws and a loss making that total.
