WORLD Cup fever has stirred that auld rivalry between two of Britain's top racing drivers.
Former Formula One star, England's Derek Warwick and Scotland's fiery John Cleland, who both race Vauxhall Vectras in the Auto Trader RAC British Touring Car Championship, took time out of testing to have a kick-about and wind each other up about their respective sides chances in the tournament.
Cleland said: "Come on Scotland, we need to get through this stage to have a chance of revenge over those Sassenachs England, for that lucky Euro 96 game!"
Warwick, an ardent Manchester United fan, responded: "England won't be worried about the Tartan Army. In fact, we'll take the cup up to Hadrian's Wall to let them have a look at it!"
