Harry Maguire has taken a cheeky dig at Scotland fans, who took great pleasure in ridiculing the England star on Tuesday evening.<\/p>\n
Maguire's inclusion in the England squad split opinions, and he was introduced at half-time during their friendly with Scotland. The Three Lions were 2-0 up at the time, thanks to goals from Phil Foden and Jude Bellingham.<\/p>\n
