Scotland failed to make it out of the group at the World Cup as they could only muster one win against the Netherlands, with a draw coming against Iran and defeat to the hands of Peru preventing them from advancing to the next stage.Speaking on the rivalry itself, Southgate added: "Great fixtures, I've met so many of the former players over the years, worked with some of them, played with some of them so it's a fabulous game.
