Harry Kane reacts to Gareth Southgate subbing him against Scotland

Harry Kane has responded to being substituted in England's goalless draw with Scotland on Friday evening.

The Three Lions were unable to maintain their winning start at the European Championship after drawing 0-0 with their rivals at Wembley Stadium.

The Tottenham Hotspur striker was taken off with 16 minutes left in the contest as England were pushing for a winner, but he insists he had no issue with Gareth Southgate's decision.

"Gareth is within his rights to make the changes he thinks are best for the team," Kane said.

"What we've learned over past tournaments is about trying to peak at the right time.

"The best time to be peaking is in the knockout stages and hopefully kick on from there."

When asked why the Spurs striker was taken off, Southgate added: "It's important you have a bench but of course it's always difficult when it's your captain [being subbed] because he is a player we've never had to take off in the past and at the club you leave him on in any circumstance."
