Andy Murray’s cheeky post from England v Scotland game creates social media stir
Andy Murray has tended to avoid getting involved in the England v Scotland rivalry, but he couldn’t resist a tweet after the two nations clashed at Wembley in the Euro 2020 finals.
Murray infamously got himself into hot water when a throwaway comment suggesting he would “support whoever England were playing against” in the 2006 World Cup, with the quip cruelly used as a stick to beat the Scot with for many years that followed.
It was a media storm that taught Murray plenty of painful lessons, but the two-time Wimbledon champion has long since overcome those snipes from blinkered England fans, so he had some fun after spending the evening watching Scotland draw 0-0 with England at Wembley.
The Scots could have nicked a famous win in a low-quality game at Wembley, inspiring Murray to offer up this cheeky tweet.
Great fun tonight…fair play to England…they worked hard…defended deep and deserved to hang onto the draw in the end 👏#ENGvSCO pic.twitter.com/EkCJbrgYwJ

Murray backed up that tweet with a message praising Scotland and Chelsea midfielder Billy Gilmore after his impressive display against England.
