Scotland can beat England - Gallacher

Former Scotland striker Kevin Gallacher believes the current team can beat England at Wembley and revitalise their World Cup qualification hopes.

The Scots slipped to fourth in Group F after October's setbacks against Lithuania and Slovakia.

But a victory over the English, who haven't lost a qualifier since 2009, on Friday would draw Gordon Strachan's side level with the top seeds.

"I think they just have to believe in themselves," said Gallacher.

The Scots were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Lithuania before a 3-0 defeat in Trnava.

"I just think they went there and felt it was going to be easier than it was and that they'd win the game," Gallacher told BBC Scotland.
