Scotland captain Scott Brown admits Tuesday's friendly against England means "much, much more" to him and his teammates than their opponents, and is determined to prove a point by beating them at Celtic Park.
England coach Roy Hodgson is expecting a "tough test" as the two nations reignite the oldest international fixture in history, first played in 1872, with Gordon Strachan's side third in Euro 2016 qualifying Group D after beating Republic of Ireland on Friday.
The Three Lions sit top of Group E with four wins from four, and while Brown knows many of Hodgson's squad are already looking ahead to Premier League and Champions League clashes, he wants Scotland to deliver a wake-up call by beating England at home for the first time in 29 years.
"What you have to understand is how special this is to the players, how much it means to us. We know the English really don't bother about us -- they couldn't care less about Scottish football," the Daily Record reported him as saying.
"To be fair to them, they might not even realise they are doing it. But they have this sense of superiority that comes with thinking how much better they are than us. And that's why we go into a game like this absolutely bursting to prove a point.
"To be perfectly honest, this fixture means much, much more to us than it does to the English boys, and I'm not saying that in a critical way.
"The truth is they are playing away down south in huge games at great grounds and in massive competitions week in, week out. Why would they bother to look over their shoulder to see what we are up to?
"But we are brought up with a different mentality in Scotland. We are brought up to believe beating England is as good as it gets.
"We're going into a game against our arch enemy, and that's the best thing any Scot could experience."
