Arsenal midfielder Wilshere: No way I'm ducking Scotland showdown

Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere says there's no way he was ducking England's clash with Scotland tomorrow.

Wilshere produced a man-of-the-match display as England recorded a fourth straight Euro 2016 qualifying victory after coming from behind to defeat Slovenia 3-1 at Wembley on Saturday.

"I am desperate to play. They are the games that every England player wants to be playing in," said Wilshere.

"You ask any member of my family or anyone who knows what it (rivalry) is like - and they would never forgive me if I didn't play.

"They will always say 'England-Scotland, that it is going to be a great atmosphere', so I want to play in that, of course I do."
