Pre-match Thoughts
Charlie Mulgrew
"I think everyone in the squad has confidence in their ability and that shows out there in training.
"The standard is very high, the tempo is very high. Everyone is buzzing. It is going to be a very difficult game, but it is one as a player you want to be involved in."
Mark McGhee
"If you look at the group and look at the table, if we beat England, we're four points behind them.
"I think there is a very positive feeling since the Slovenia game.
"We get it from the fans - I meet fans all the time and there has been a lift since then and I think the players have had a lift from the result and also the reaction of the supporters."
