The Tottenham man will wear the armband when the Three Lions travel to Hampden Park for Saturday’s World Cup qualifier

Tottenham attacker Harry Kane will serve as England captain for Saturday’s World Cup qualifier in Scotland, Gareth Southgate confirmed.

Kane — who scored 35 goals for Totttenham during the 2016-17 season — will be making his debut under Southgate, and the manager showed his confidence in the striker by giving him the captain’s armband for the crucial encounter.

“Harry Kane will be captain for the game,” Southgate said.

“We have several players who have excellent leadership qualities and Harry is a player we have worked with, with the Under-21s before.

“He’s got a terrific mentality and I know he is delighted to be leading the team.

“He finished the season in great form and any team would want a finisher of his quality in their side.”

England sit atop Group F with 13 points heading into the contest, which will take place at Hampden Park in Glasgow. The Scots have seven points and are currently in fourth place.
