HARRY MAGUIRE had the last laugh by taking a cheeky swipe at Scotland having been mercilessly mocked by their fans.<\/p>\n
The centre-back was trolled by Scottish fans throughout his second-half display in which he turned the ball into his own net during the heritage match.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Manchester United\u00a0star\u2019s inclusion in the squad, given his lack of starts at club level, was questioned by many.<\/p>\n
He was introduced into last night's game at Hampden Park at half-time to replace the injured Marc Guehi.<\/p>\n
Scottish fans immediately targeted him, ironically cheering his every pass.<\/p>\n
The Three Lions were 2-0 up at the time thanks to Phil Foden and Jude Bellingham.<\/p>\n

But then Maguire, 30, attempted to cut out an Andy Robertson cross but knocked the ball past Aaron Ramsdale into England's goal.<\/p>\n
Maguire, removed as Manchester United captain over the summer, was then goaded by the rowdy home supporters even more.<\/p>\n
Luckily for him, Harry Kane restored England\u2019s two-goal cushion as the Three Lions won 3-1..<\/p>\n
Post-match, Maguire turned to social media, cheekily captioning an Instagram post: "\u2018Enjoyable camp with the lads \u2013 always a pleasure representing my country. Everywhere they goooo\u201d<\/p>\n
