Scotland boss Craig Levein has named his squad to face USA but could we be playing host to the best in Europe in just eight years time? A bid is being considered to bring the Euros to Scotland (and Wales...and Republic of Ireland)

On the domestic front, Maurice Edu says he wants to remain at Rangers but will he change his mind when Rino Gattuso arrives to provide competition in midfield. Naturally, of course, if the registration embargo is lifted and if a deal to buy Rangers is concluded and if terms with Gattuso are agreed.

On the other side of Glasgow, Celtic are planning a clear-out as they strengthen for next season. Cha Du Ri is expected to be among the departures, which bad news for him but also for those of us who like including crazy adverts in irreverent digest pages
