MARTIN SAMUEL: Drop Harry Kane? England boss Gareth Southgate is bold but he's not MAD! The Spurs striker didn't have his best game against Croatia, but even when he is below par his presence is a positive

Harry Kane is the Premier League's top goalscorer and goal creator. So that, of course, is who Gareth Southgate should drop going into Friday's game with Scotland.

It's what Sir Alf Ramsey would have done, apparently. To hear some of the reasoning, you might think leaving out Jimmy Greaves was the only judgement call Ramsey ever made.

Not changing the shape of his team mid-tournament. Not giving a first cap to six of the 11 players that started the World Cup final. Not promoting Jack Charlton at the age of 30.
