Charlie Mulgrew believes Scotland can take inspiration from Celtic’s win against Barcelona in 2012 when they take on England on Saturday.
Gordon Strachan’s side are huge underdogs for the World Cup qualifier at Hampden, with their opponents inflicting a 3-0 defeat on their rivals last November.
Blackburn left-back Mulgrew was part of the Celtic team that beat Barca 2-1 on home soil during a Champions League encounter five years ago.
The former SPL defender believes his home country can keep their World Cup dreams alive by using the belief they experienced on that night to beat England tomorrow.
“Every player goes into every game believing they can get something,” said Mulgrew, as quoted by the Scotsman. “That night against Barca with Celtic, there must have been a belief among us to get something or else we wouldn’t have achieved it.
“The manager, Neil Lennon, was good at giving us that wee bit of hope and highlighting the areas where we could score goals and be effective. The manager here with Scotland is just as good at preparing us for matches and having that bit of belief.
