    Do you agree?

    Would you want the home nations cup(or whatever it was called) to return?

    Would love it tbh but unfortunately we would be held to ransom by the moronic factions of both sets of supporters

    I couldn't care less.

    It was dumped in the past because England had bigger fish to fry but
    if England agree to reinstate it to me that would be an admission that they were now a second rate footballing nation. Unlike Scotland who are third rate.

    Let's what happens when this game is played. To me there are far too many idiots that would be more intent on causing trouble than enjoying the game. If so then it would be pointless in playing the game regularly.

    After what went off at Brentford the other day I think it would be a bad move. Shame though cos the rest of us who enjoy the rivalry in the right way have to suffer.....

    TBF The clowns who caused a wee bit of trouble at Brentford would not be at a Scotland/England match as all their allegiances would be with Ireland.

    You won't find many Celtic scummers who are Scotland fans. All ex patato famine Irish mongrels, why don't they go home?

    It's a few years since I've been to Brentford, but I seem to recall that the New Inn on the corner of the ground near the away end is a Celtic pub and was headquarters to one of their London based supporters clubs. I think they moved pubs but are still based in Brentford. Probably quite a few locals over excited to have a local away game!

    Would Celtic fans honestly not support Scotland?

    Me too

    Should definitely bring back the home internationals, maybe for odd numbered years (ie when there's no World Cup or European Championship).

    We used to love them back in the 70s, on telly live and we watched 'em all. Particularly enjoyed watching Dirty Leeds players kicking each other (Norman, Clarkie, Bremner etc).
