Harry Kane issues Scotland and David Marshall warning as England captain drops long range heroics hint

Harry Kane has warned David Marshall he’s out to emulate the Hampden heroics of Czech ace Patrik Schick.

The England captain was blown away by the stunning lob from almost 50 yards which swirled over and shattered the Scotland goalkeeper during his team’s 2-0 loss at Hampden in their opening Euros tie.

Kane reckons he’s also got one of those specials in his locker and will be prepared to unleash it if the chance arises during Friday’s Battle of Britain blockbuster at Wembley.

The Three Lions skipper said: “It was unbelievable. To see the keeper off the line is one thing, but then to be able to put it in the back of the net is another.

“It was probably the goal of the tournament, that will be a hard one to beat.

“But every now and then I will look for that one.

“The keepers today like to play as sweepers waiting for that ball in between, so, if there is a ricochet or an opening, I like to try and look for that one.

“You never know we might get another one this tournament.”

While Kane was full of admiration for Schick’s skills in Glasgow, he also feels Scotland did enough to prove they’ll be a threat in London.

He added: “To be honest I thought Scotland played quite well. They had a few chances. The Czech keeper made some great saves and, obviously, they scored one from 50 yards which changed the game a little bit.

“Scotland were good. Obviously, we will be looking and assessing that game and looking at the things we can exploit. All in all, we are ready for a tough game.”
