Scotland manager Gordon Strachan says that he is looking forward to next month's friendly against England at Wembley Stadium.

Scotland manager Gordon Strachan has expressed his excitement ahead of next month's friendly against England at Wembley Stadium.

The two nations will go head-to-head for the first time in 14 years when they meet on August 14 to celebrate the Football Association's 150th anniversary.

"I've done it all in these games - I've been a supporter, I've played and now I'll manage in it and I know fine well that it has to be a collective attack, but that's not a problem, we will be together as a group - supporters, players and staff," Strachan told reporters.

"The players are not stupid, they know that this game is important, but everyone will enjoy it. Whether you are doing anything, playing table tennis even, playing against England is an occasion that we have to win."

Strachan named his 29-man squad for the match on Monday.
