That game, played at the West of Scotland Cricket Ground in Glasgow, which ended 0-0, is recognised by Fifa as the world's oldest international.

Next year's game will be the first between the pair since a goalless draw in June 2021 at Wembley at Euro 2020.
"This fixture is enshrined in history," said Scotland manager Steve Clarke.
"I will be proud to lead our team out at Hampden as part of the 150th anniversary celebrations of our national game.
"This next chapter of the oldest rivalry in football will be a special occasion for our players and fans, especially after the recent experience at Wembley during Euro 2020."
England and Scotland last met at Hampden in 2017, with the match ending in a 2-2 draw and all four goals coming in the final quarter of the game. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain put England 1-0 ahead but they needed an injury-time Harry Kane goal to draw the game after Scotland's Leigh Griffiths scored two late free-kicks.
"Any meeting with Scotland is always special," said England boss Gareth Southgate.

Thanks for posting this. Strange that they've organised it 151 years after the first match.

Okay, thanks. I don't see anything about how they're kicking off the year of events. Pissing ourselves laughing at England getting knocked out of the World Cup the day before? 🤔
