England will wear a unique warm-up shirt ahead of Tuesday’s 150th Anniversary Heritage Match against Scotland at Hampden Park.<\/p>\n
Scotland host their rivals in a special friendly to mark the anniversary of the first ever international football match.<\/p>\n
Ahead of the occasion, the Three Lions make a nod to their own heritage by wearing a shirt which bears the original crest from the first Scotland v England meeting in 1872.<\/p>\n
The limited-edition shirts, designed by Nike, will then be put up for auction with all proceeds going to the FA’s official charity partner, Alzheimer’s Society.<\/p>\n
Captain Harry Kane was seen wearing the shirt during a visit to Hamilton Crescent in Glasgow, where the match took place on 30 November 1872.<\/p>\n
