From Barry McGuigan and Carl Frampton to Tyrone McKenna and Lewis Crocker, the city’s fighters carry a complex history into the ring, writes JOHN WIGHT
SCOTLAND goalkeeper Lee Alexander has warned England that they are a different side to the one that took the field two years ago at the European Championships.
The Lionesses romped to a 6-0 victory over Anna Signeul’s team at Euro 2017, a match that highlighted the gulf in class between the two teams.
Scotland open their World Cup account on Sunday and with Signeul having been replaced by Shelley Kerr, England are also under new management, Alexander has told Phil Neville this match won’t be a walk in the park for England.
