ian1964 10,409 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Two of the worldââ?¬â?¢s fiercest sporting rivals are to come fame to face in Glasgow. Pakistan and India will play each other at football on Friday September 9 at Ibrox Stadium. The fixture is part of a UK wide series, with the teams also meeting five days earlier in Derby. Pakistan and India were due to meet at cricket in Glasgow in July 2007, however the match was cancelled due to rain. This is the first time both teams will meet in Scotland at football. The matches have caught the imagination of high profile sporting figures. World boxing champion Amir Khan said: ââ?¬Å?Football is one of the most popular sports amongst the Asian communities. ââ?¬Å?Iââ?¬â?¢m sure these matches will also be very beneficial for relations between the two countries. He added: ââ?¬Å?Itââ?¬â?¢s always thrilling to see two rivals go up against one another.ââ?¬Â The tour is being organised by Touch Sky Sports (TSS), which aims to promote football in emerging Asian and Middle Eastern markets. Bollywood actors, Asian artists, musicians and English Premier League stars will also play a part in the build up to the games, which have been billed as ââ?¬Å?The clash of the Titans.ââ?¬Â UK born Pakistani players such as Zesh Rehman, Adnan Ahmed and Atif Bashir could all feature. Indian fans will have their eyes on Sunil Chhetri. The player recently had a trial at Coventry City but now plays for Kansas City Wizards in the USA.
