From Daily Telegraph (BBC not reporting it for some reason):
Police have launched an investigation into attempts to fix a World Cup friendly between Scotland and Nigeria that is due to be played in London tomorrow.
Officers from the National Crime Agency, Britain's equivalent of the FBI which investigates serious and organised crime, are understood to have asked Fifa to issue an alert over potential attempts to rig the game.
The football match is one of a sequence of friendlies that serve as a warm up for the World Cup in Brazil next month and is due to be played at Craven Cottage, the home of Fulham Football Club.
It is understood that the Scottish Football Association has been liaising with the NCA after the game was "red flagged".
Premiership footballers are expected to play at tomorrow's game, including Chelsea’s John Obi Mikel, Liverpool’s Victor Moses and Manchester United’s Darren Fletcher. There is no suggestion that any of the players are involved.
