Southgate looking for Gascoigne-like inspiration

When England face Scotland, it is almost impossible not to talk about the fixture without mentioning the former Rangers and Tottenham star, and Southgate remenisced about fond memories of 'Gazza'.

"In my time in football, he would be unique anyway in terms of personality," said Southgate with a smile.

"Obviously he was playing at Rangers at the time, so he had an even bigger motivation [to do well against Scotland]. I mean I am not sure emotional control was his style.

"I think Bryan Robson made him a fishing rod and he was fishing in the old Wembley baths, or pretend fishing because that was the only time he ever relaxed so make of that what you will.

"God knows what he was actually fishing for. Whatever might have been floating in the bath, which is probably more pleasant before the game than it was after.

"Only he could remember the celebration he was going to do, having scored a goal like that. How does it even cross your mind - 'oh yes, got to do the dentist's chair thing'?"
