ALEX SALMOND has been made odds-on to KO Donald Trump should the feuding politicians ever make their ongoing row physical.

Sparks have been flying, but fists haven't quite yet, as Alex Salmond slammed Presidential candidate Trump for his outspoken comments on Muslim and his opposition to wind farms.

In turn, Trump called Salmond 'an embarrassment to Scotland' and threatened to pull his golf course investments from the country if he is banned from entering the UK.

One Twitter poll shows the public fancy Salmond to win, and that's reflected in the odds.

Should the two ever meet in a boxing ring, Salmond is the 1/2 favourite with Ladbrokes to come out on top, with The Donald a 6/4 slight outsider.

Ladbrokes also offer 2/1 that Trump will visit the UK in 2016 and make the business mogul the clear 4/1 second favourite to win the Presidency.

Alex Donohue of Ladbrokes said: "Along with most of the country we'd pay good money to see these two political heavyweights step into the ring.

"Salmond loves a flutter and we're certain he'd back himself to topple Trump. Time after time in his career he's landed the odds and we're sure he'd have his big rival on the ropes in no time."
