    Scotland legend Graeme Souness gave a scathing assessment of England’s performance after Gareth Southgate’s men served up a lacklustre performance in their Euro 2020 Group D clash.

    England failed to rise to the occasion against a spirited Scotland side that looked far more up for the battle as the two long-standing rival nations scrapped it out to a goalless draw at a rain-soaked Wembley.

    Speaking as part of the ITV Sport panel, Souness was critical of England’s performance and said that Three Lions skipper Harry Kane was particularly disappointing.

    The centre-backs had an easy night against him,” Souness opined. 

    “Harry Kane looks a shadow of the player we know he is. 

    “In two games, as Roy (Keane) said, he looks leggy, lacking enthusiasm.

    “I know a centre-forward, really, is 90 per cent reliant on the type of passes he’s getting and he’s not getting a great deal from that midfield.”

    Souness also suggested that Kane looked off the pace throughout the game, and wondered if the ongoing speculation over his club future is draining him mentally.

    “Harry doesn’t look himself, he looks shady and looks tired,” he said. 

    “This is a guy who’s hoping to get a big move this summer, he needs to wake himself up. 

    “He came off in the first game, is he carrying something? Because he looks a shadow of himself.”

    Souness then delivered his final assessment as he suggested that, without Kane fit and firing at 100 per cent, Gareth Southgate’s men face an impossible task if they want to go all the way in the Euros this summer.

    “He’s England’s one player who has proven at this level to get goals on a regular basis,” Souness said of Kane. 

    “And if that’s not happening in this competition – you’re not going very far. 

    “Without Harry Kane – football isn’t coming home with that team, I can tell you. Not the way they’re playing.”
