    Match Report by Norman Giller

Own goals by Mike Pejic and Colin Todd deflated an England team that struggled to cope with the pace and skill of a Scottish attack in which Peter Lorimer, Jimmy Johnstone, Kenny Dalglish and Joe Jordan were outstanding. Pejic deflected a Jordan shot into the England net in the fifth minute, and a harmless-looking cross was diverted past goalkeeper Peter Shilton by Todd in the thirty-first minute. England were vulnerable at the heart of the defence until Dave Watson replaced Norman Hunter as a conventional centre-half.
