* Dwight Yorke:
"Everyone from Scotland, including Sir Alex, has made it clear they want us to do well against England. If we do well, I'm sure Sir Alex will be on the phone the next day.
"We never thought we'd be playing against England in a million years in a World Cup.
"I can't thank Sir Alex and his staff enough. They made me feel as if I was one of their players again. They got me in good nick for this competition.
"Sir Alex told me to go out and enjoy the occasion, the moment, because this is a once in a lifetime opportunity, given that I'm coming to the end of my career. He made sure I had a sense of belief because you need that on an occasion like this."
