WITH the lead at the top of the table at stake, both managers pledging to attack, nearly 5,000 fans in attendance and neither side having played in a goalless draw this season, the scene was set for the biggest game of the day in Scotland to deliver fantastic entertainment.  

Lowy spoke to The Sunday Telegraph's John Taylor about how the World Cup bids (for 2018 or 2022) were progressing, the future, and also to give his views on the state of the A-League.  

DARREN FLETCHER today handed Scotland boss George Burley a boost by declaring himself fit to face Wales on Saturday.
