Scotland v England

AND

England v Scotland

1973 to date

Scotland teams have often included riders from other countries who were riding for Scottish clubs, or
who (allegedly) had a Scottish parent or grandparent.
However, between 1973 and 1982 (excluding 1978) Scotland was represented by a true home-grown team.
In 1972 and 1978, the team rode as Scotland Select, though details of these matches are included here.

1973 Two series were held this season, one at Division 1 level, and another at Division 2 level.

1973 Div.1 Series tied 1-1
14.09 : Coatbridge Scotland Select 57 England Select 51
