Bellingham becomes the first England player to both score and assist a goal in a match against Scotland since Kevin Keegan in May 1979
, but the effervescence of England’s midfield here probably spells bad news for him.
There is no debate around Bellingham, at least. If England are to do anything in Germany it will surely flow from him. His touch, timing and technique are faultless, the fact he is just 20 years old almost lost in the superlatives. He scored here, the simplest of finishes afterFor a friendly this was riotous fun. Glasgow heaved in the late summer sun, the mood merry rather than murderous in the run up to kick off.
In the second half, though, the walls briefly threatened to come in on England. Robertson’s fizzing, hopeful cross-cum-shot cannoned off Maguire and Scotland sensed an opportunity., whose smart finish finished off the hosts, ensured it did not come to that.hopes were harmed in the making of this battle of Britain, even if Norway’s stroll against Georgia in Oslo means they will have to wait for their ticket to Germany to be stamped.
Make no mistake, they will be there. The Tartan Army will enjoy its first overseas tournament for a quarter of century, drenched in euphoria and whatever else is being served in the bierkellers of Munich, Stuttgart and the rest. But a realignment of ambition and approach is clearly required on the pitch when they are confronted by a team with the gifts England possess.
The way they set out at Hampden suggested they fancied their chances of reprising the roughing up of Spain six months ago, a 2-0 win that represents the high watermark of the Clarke era. The problem is England can look quite a lot better than Spain in spells these days. The trick for Southgate is piecing those moments together, and making sure distractions like the Maguire debate don’t weigh his team down.
