Tomorrow night, England face Scotland at Wembley in an all-important World Cup qualifier with political subplots aplenty - not least including Scottish independence, Brexit and the poppy debate raised by Remembrance Day.

The home nations represent one of world football's greatest rivalries. In fact, Scotland vs. England was association football's first ever international fixture, originally taking place all the way back in 1872.

The two countries have met on 111 more occasions since, with the Three Lions claiming the lion's share (excuse the pun) of victories - albeit by just six - and only 24 ending in draws.

Down the years, some absolutely fantastic goals have been scored in this fixture, ranging from cheeky pea-rollers to long-range belters.

So in the build-up to Friday's clash at Wembley Stadium, here's a rundown of England's four greatest goals against the Tartans. Will Wayne Rooney, Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling and company add to this list in tomorrow night's qualifier?

Gerry Francis - 1975

Gerry Francis' England career consisted of just twelve caps and three goals, none trumping this superb effort against Scotland in 1975. That opening goal helped the Three Lions to a 5-1 win, their biggest victory over the Tartan army since 1961. The QPR icon later converted his strike into a brace, with goals from Colin Bell, David Johnson and Kevin Beattie completing the rout.

Peter Beardsley - 1988

There's an urban myth up on Tyneside, claiming Lionel Messi is Peter Beardsley's illegitimate child. The similarity in modest stature is hard to ignore, but this goal produces arguably the strongest evidence yet of a connection between the Newcastle icon and the four-time Ballon d'Or winner. From cheekily flicking the ball onto John Barnes to dragging it away from a defender and chipping it over the goalkeeper in one swift movement, Beardsley's goal is nothing short of superb.

Steve Bull - 1989

In a dream debut, Steve Bull claimed his first England cap and first international goal against Scotland in the last ever meeting of the home nations in the Rous Cup. After coming on for John Fashanu, the then-Wolves man battled to gain control of a long pass before rifling the ball into the back of the net on the half-volley. Unfortunately, the retired striker made just twelve more appearances for England, scoring once.

Paul Gascoigne - 1996

Who else but Paul Gascoigne at number one, with his iconic strike against the Scots. So much has been said about this magic goal, Gazza's talent and England's heroics at Euro 96 that it's almost impossible to add something to the debate. With that in mind, we're gong to let this strike - not to mention the penalty pandemonium leading up to it - speak for itself.
