Nigel Farage has accepted a challenge to debate with Alex Salmond in the run up to the in/out referendum on EU membership.
Scotland's former first minister threw down the gauntlet to the Ukip leader during an interview on the Sky News Murnaghan programme.
The SNP's foreign affairs spokesman said he would be "delighted" to take on Mr Farage "or any comer on the anti-European side".
He told the programme: "I don't know if they've quite decided who they will be fielding yet. They seem to have spent a lot of time fighting with each other.
"That's the sort of folk they are. But yes, of course you debate all comers in a referendum campaign.
"If I may say so it has been Mr Cameron whose been tentative and sensitive about debating with people in recent history." Aol News.
