West Ham midfielder Rice: Scotland pair McTominay and McGinn are two warriors

West Ham midfielder Declan Rice is wary facing a passionate Scotland later this week.

Gareth Southgate's England side put themselves on course for the knockout stages of the Euros with a 1-0 win against Croatia at Wembley yesterday.

England won the midfield battle against Croatia's brilliant playmakers, led by Luka Modric, and Rice says it will be a different challenge against Scotland.

“They've got some top players who play in the Premier League," said the West Ham star. “Che Adams, [John] McGinn and Scott [McTominay] in the middle are two warriors and Andy Robertson and [Kieran] Tierney at the back are great leaders and players.

“We are not going into it and say it is going to be easy because that will be wrong. They are going to come and be physical and we need to match that and do more. We need to be ready and we will be ready."
