Harry Maguire can’t resist cheeky swipe at Scotland fans who ridiculed him

Harry Maguire has taken a cheeky dig at Scotland fans, who took great pleasure in ridiculing the England star on Tuesday evening.

Maguire's inclusion in the England squad split opinions, and he was introduced at half-time during their friendly with Scotland. The Three Lions were 2-0 up at the time, thanks to goals from Phil Foden and Jude Bellingham.

The Manchester United defender was constantly jeered by Scottish supporters, and he was then the subject of jokes when he turned the ball into his own goal.

However, after Harry Kane smashed home England's third and secured the 3-1 victory, Maguire had the last laugh on social media.

Maguire posted on Instagram: "Enjoyable camp with the lads – always a pleasure representing my country. Everywhere they goooo!"

The last sentence is a cheeky reference to the English chant – that could be heard around Hampden Park last night which was "Scotland get battered, everywhere they go".

After the game, Gareth Southgate passionately defended Maguire, he said: "From a Scotland fan’s point of view, I get it and I have absolutely no complaints, but it is a consequence of ridiculous treatment of him for a long period of time, frankly.

"I think our fans recognised that 'OK there might be a bit of heat from our supporters, but we're not going to have others getting into him'.

"But it is a joke. I have never known a player to be treated the way he is – not from the Scottish fans but by our own commentators, pundits, whatever it is.

"He has been an absolute stalwart for us in the second most successful England team in decades and he's been a key part of that."
