After a 14-year absence, the oldest rivalry in the international football calendar will be renewed on Wednesday, August 14, 2013, as part of the Football Association's 150th anniversary celebrations.
The match, which will see Scotland visit the revamped Wembley for the first time, will rekindle a duel that began in 1872 but has lain dormant since Don Hutchison's header secured a 1-0 second-leg victory as Scotland narrowly lost out in a Euro 2000 play-off.
