Thrust into the job after Allardyce departed following an undercover newspaper investigation, Southgate's immediate challenge is England's World Cup qualifiers at home to Malta on Saturday and away to Slovenia three days later. Gareth has been with the England set-up for quite a few years, he has had a stint at Middlesbrough as a manager. Southgate will also be in charge in a third World Cup qualifier at home to Scotland, who breezed past Malta 5-1 earlier this month, in November. Gemmill felt the former Middlesbrough manager's appointment will make England stronger and Scotland should target second place in Group F."I think that will possibly make England stronger. I think Scotland should look at it as a group minus England," he added.
