Hartson eyes up Scottish duel in Euro play-off showdown

JOHN HARTSON is hoping Wales will be paired with Scotland in the Euro 2004 play-offs but would settle for Ireland or England.

Although Wales can still qualify automatically if results go their way, they are certain of a place in the November showdowns where they could be joined by Ireland, England or Scotland.

Several of Europe's heavyweights including Turkey, Holland, Spain and Russia are also possible opponents.
