The Scottish Football Association are lining up an offer for Argentina to have a International Challenge Match (FRIENDLY) at Hampden Park Glasgow sometime in February.
Heard the news on Saturday in the paper and alot of news and paper talk today about it. This would be sweet.
Argentina charge (wtf) £300,000 per friendly for teams but it looks as if the SFA are to make around £1,000,000 after ticket sales, merch and also TV rights.
This fixture would be ace, the likes of Tevez, Racquelme and Messi all to awe on when they face my countries finest 11.
This will also be first game incharge of Scotland's new manager....whoever that may be?
Discos - so what ya all think?

nono there is an off period during February I believe, both in the SPL and the English PL.
Think its a wednesday tie. England have a friendly then as well. Don't think it's against France though...isnt that in April or nearer the Euro's?
