Another added: ‘I’d run through brick walls for Graeme Souness. Love the bloke.’
Richard Keys, who left Sky Sports in controversial circumstances in 2011, posted: ‘I hear Graeme Souness is working for C4 on Tuesday night. I thought we were told he was retiring?’
The Three Lions’ trip to Hampden Park marked the 150 years since the first recognised international football match, when Scotland hosted England in 1872.
Supporters were in high spirits outside the stadium ahead of kick-off, with both sides heading into the clash in a rich vein of form.
