Gareth Southgate is looking to name a new skipper now that Wayne Rooney's worldwide career is seemingly winding down, and Kane staked his claim by rescuing a point for the Three Lions with a stoppage-time equaliser at Hampden Park on Saturday.
Kane, who was handed the captaincy for the first time by Gareth Southgate, proved to be the hero for England but might have scored with the best chance of the first half when he collected Craig Gordon's poor header and lobbed him from 30 yards.
"When we went away with the Marines, we spoke about being ready for any situation", said Kane.
"You have to expect the unexpected and we were 2-1 down from nowhere but we found another gear".
"But everyone stood up to it".
Robertson said: "If you look at the fixtures we have got, we are capable of beating them all if we can perform like that (against England)".
Harry Kane's stoppage-time strike in the 2-2 draw leaves the Scots six points behind the Group F leaders.
"I have got to say it was like watching a heavyweight boxer versus a middleweight", Strachan said.
England have now gone 35 games and nearly eight years since they last lost a World Cup or European Championship qualifying match.
"Overall the objective is to qualify and we are top of the group".
Kane's late response was cruel for Scotland, whose supporters had been vociferously celebrating a thrilling turnaround, meaning they remain in fourth place on eight points with four matches still to play.

"There's no one else", Southgate said when asked about the apparent dearth of exactly the kind of controlling - and creative - central midfielder England require to guide games like this raucous World Cup qualifier away to Scotland to a more positive conclusion.
"The way the game panned out, it was a good point for us".
"We knew it was going to be tough away from home in an worldwide qualifier and with Scotland doing everything to stay in the World Cup".
Scotland hero Griffiths was left "gutted" despite scoring a brace of free-kicks for his first goals in the dark blue. The atmosphere was incredible from both sets of fans.
"It (the goal) is definitely up at the top, it was a special day", Kane said.
"If we are as committed as we were today, we can get the three points".
"I want to save it, of course, but the wall want to block it but we didn't so we got on with it and we scored the next goal which was the important thing in the time that we had". I am not someone who gets too irate or too low.
"Part of what we have to do is to make good decisions when teams come at us and throw the ball forward and put us under pressure".
"The last five minutes was a roller coaster, obviously Griff's great two free-kicks and the sucker punch at the end which left us gutted".
Graeme Souness believes the missed opportunity to beat the "Auld Enemy" will "haunt Scottish people for decades".
He added: "I think that is fair (we need to be more clinical)".
