QPR boss Redknapp: England v Scotland a real game

QPR boss Harry Redknapp is looking forward to England's friendly with Scotland.

Redknapp expects a blood-and-thunder affair.

"The group we are in is poor," Redknapp stated. "There's no competition in it. It's not like the Scotland group. That's a tough group, with good teams in it.

"England's group really is one you can't judge them on. I watched the game last night (against Slovenia) and the other team are just a poor team. I mean what was their standard? What are they? A Championship team at best, middle/bottom half of the Championship probably.

"I think from the punters' point of view, if you are going to Wembley do you want to watch San Marino or someone? Really?

"You would want to watch them play Scotland or the Republic of Ireland. If you ask me if I'd rather watch last night's England game or the game on Tuesday night, I'd rather watch the game on Tuesday. It'll be a full-blooded affair."
