Rival fans offer praise for Gareth Southgate and his players but say all the fuss is ‘driving everybody mad’
Liam Murray says he will be supporting England on Sunday “despite being an Ayrshire Scot”. Having backed the Scotland team in the group stages, “anyone but England” is not for him.
“I’ve always felt Scotland’s progress as a country will come when we have a more relaxed, mature attitude to our neighbour,” says Murray, 49, a risk management specialist. “That doesn’t necessarily mean cheering them on but it definitely means none of this buying the strip or flag of whomever they’re playing.”
