    Match Report by Norman Giller

Martin Peters headed in a beautifully flighted free-kick from Alan Ball in the fifty-fourth minute to give England victory in a hard-fought match that tested their stamina as much as their skill. The Scots might easily have won but for magnificent saves by Peter Shilton from Peter Lorimer and Kenny Dalglish. Scotland turned it into a physical battle, with Billy Bremner and big Jim Holton kicking anything that moved. England's win gave them their twenty-ninth Home Championship, which put them in a confident mood for their summer tour that included a crucial World Cup qualifier against Poland.
