England captain Harry Kane was proud of the way England dug deep to avoid a chastening defeat to Scotland.
The 114th meeting of international football's oldest rivals initially looked to be going the visitors' way after substitute Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain hushed the Hampden roar. But an unremarkable World Cup qualifier ended extraordinarily as Leigh Griffiths levelled with a wonderful late free-kick, before repeating the trick to put Gordon Strachan's side on the brink of a famous victory.
Yet England rallied rather than wilted in stoppage time as Kane, wearing the captain's armband for the first time, scored to snatch a 2-2 draw. "It was fantastic," Kane said of the team's character.
"I think going 2-1 down in the manner that we did, a lot of heads could have dropped or people could have been sulking or so forth. But everyone stood up to it. They dug deep and found a goal out of nothing, really, so that's what it's about. It is about standing up and being counted and we did that. Obviously, I was wearing the armband but I think we've got a lot of leaders in the team. It was great for me personally to lead the team out, a very proud moment and to get that goal at the end made it even more special.
"I think being part of a leader is standing up when it matters and to get that goal at the end was important."
