BALE GOOD TO GO

RYAN GIGGS insists Gareth Bale is ready to terrorise Denmark tonight.

Wales’ record scorer missed the 1-0 win in Ireland last month with a groin injury, and picked up a minor ankle problem playing for Real Madrid against Celta Vigo on Sunday.

But Bale (right) has been eased into training this week ahead of tonight’s Nations League clash at the Cardiff City Stadium, where he will look to add to his 30 goals in 72 caps.

“He’s fine,” said boss Giggs. “Obviously he arrived a little bit later than the rest of the group after playing Sunday evening.

“He’s looked good this week, he is ready. He had a different programme at the beginning of the week but he’s fine.”

Skipper Ashley Williams added: “He seems sharp and ready to go. As usual Gareth has been happy around the camp.”

Giggs has described tonight’s clash as a “cup final”, and says the pain of losing helps drive him on.

Victory will see Giggs’ side top Group B4 and secure promotion to Group A to face Europe’s best.

He won 34 major trophies with Manchester United but admits some cup final defeats still hurt, like the 1995 FA Cup final loss to Everton, and the 2009 Champions League final in Rome, when they were beaten 2-0 by Barcelona.

“The ones I lost, they stand out more than the ones I won,” Giggs said.

“Nou Camp in 1999 [Champions League final] was amazing, the best feeling I have ever had on the football pitch.

“But in 1995 losing against Everton was one of the biggest disappointments of my life. Also Rome, when we lost against Barcelona.

“But you can’t win every game. We’d all like to but it’s more about taking something out of those defeats and making sure it doesn’t happen again.”
