Tottenham ace Bale expected to take part in Wales' trip to Scotland

Gareth Bale is likely to overcome a knock on his ankle to lead Wales into action against Scotland in World Cup qualifying on Friday.

The Tottenham star hasn't trained with Chris Coleman's Dragons this week but according to teammate Sam Vokes, should be fit for the Hampden meeting with Gordon Strachan's Scots.

"We think he is going to be fit, he is in and around the team and will be training in the next couple of days with Friday in mind," said Vokes.

"It is fantastic to play alongside him, the last couple of goals I have scored for Wales have come from his assists, and in the Scotland game here he turned the game on its head (scoring twice at the death to win it 2-1).

"He has been different class for club and country for a while now, every game he plays in he is excellent and he will be a big player for us on Friday."
