Kyle Walker is relishing England\u2019s so-called friendly against Scotland after the long-serving right-back scored a goal he will remember for the rest of his life.<\/p>\n
The 33-year-old made his senior debut in a friendly against Spain in November 2011 and has gone on to feature in four major tournament squads for his country.<\/p>\n
But for all of Walker\u2019s work it was not until Saturday evening in Poland that the Manchester City right-back was able to celebrate scoring an international goal on his 77th appearance.<\/p>\n
The full-back raced behind and met a fantastic Harry Kane pass with a similarly impressive touch, before coolly cancelling out Ukraine captain Oleksandr Zinchenko\u2019s opener in Wroclaw.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously to have 76 caps and not score a goal, it was playing on my mind a little bit,\u201d Walker said after the 1-1 draw in Euro 2024 qualification.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust a lot of people were saying \u2018you\u2019ve played all these times\u2019 and Harry Kane has been giving me a bit of banter, saying he\u2019ll give me a penalty before I finish.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut, listen, to get the goal, to help the team at the other end of the field was good.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know H likes to play them balls in behind and I just made the run.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe do that at City where once the ball goes back, you make the in behind run.<\/p>\n
\u201cHarry\u2019s made a great ball and picked me out. I think the touch has set it up because I\u2019d probably have been looking to square it someone (otherwise).<\/p>\n
\u201cThe touch felt good and it was a goal that I\u2019ll remember definitely for the rest of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n

England were below par in Poland but it remains a case of when rather than if they wrap up qualification for next summer\u2019s Euros.<\/p>\n
Preparations for Germany continue with a first friendly game in 18 months on Tuesday evening, albeit the trip to old foes Scotland at Hampden Park is sure to have some bite to it.<\/p>\n

Asked if there can ever be a friendly against Scotland, Walker told Sky Sports: \u201cNo, definitely not.<\/p>\n
\u201cI love playing in them games, especially just with everything behind it, with what they bring, their crowd and everything like that.<\/p>\n
\u201cHopefully we can go there and have a good performance.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019ve had some good recent results so it\u2019s going to be a tough game.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe last time we went there we managed to scrape a draw in the last couple of minutes with Harry.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo hopefully we can go there, put a good performance on, but it\u2019s never going to be a friendly.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kane\u2019s stoppage-time goal secured a 2-2 draw on England\u2019s last trip to Scotland in 2017.<\/p>\n
Walker was still a Tottenham team-mate of the striker at that point and it was widely reported this summer that the pair could have linked back up at Bayern Munich.<\/p>\n
Kane moved to the Bundesliga but the 33-year-old has stayed with treble winners City, where his current deal expires at the end of the season.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have an obligation to fulfil my contract,\u201d Walker said. \u201cObviously things haven\u2019t gone for whatever way. Whichever way you want to look at it, it\u2019s not happened.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I\u2019m a Manchester City player. I want to stay at this club for as long as possible.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I need to do what\u2019s right for me personally first and that\u2019s stay at the top for as long as possible because there\u2019s a lot of ex-players who\u2019ve told me once you starting coming down it is difficult.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, if I can fulfil this season and many more hopefully at Manchester City that would be fantastic.\u201d<\/p>\n
