Analysis of the anisotropy of the γ-ray background observed by Clarket al. (1968) has lead to the suggestion that part of the anisotropy be due to a source at the Galactic Centre. The complex structure of radio and infrared emission of the region of Sgr A is considered. The γ-ray flux arising from Compton scattering and π0 decay is calculated. For a value of the magnetic field H≈10-4 Gauss, corresponding to equipartition, the γ-ray flux above 100 MeV at Earth from the Sgr A source is expected to lie between 10-6 and 10-5 gamma/cm2 sec. Such a source should be detectable in the near future.
