Hampden will be due an upgrade should the UK & Ireland's Euro 2028 bid be successful.

The Scottish FA's chief executive Ian Maxwell has confirmed that improvements will be made to the stadium in years to come.

The SFA has joined forces with their English, Welsh, Northern Irish, and Irish counterparts to lodge a bid for the tournament in five years' time.

Hampden will be the only Scottish venue used to stage games for the lite tournament should it be successful.

And it will be due for a refurb for the championships by the time they come around.

The home of Scottish football fended off strong competition from Murrayfield to remain as the national stadium a few years ago, with a pledged refurb funded by Sir Willie Haughey and Sir Tom Hunter as part of that decision.

Maxwell said: “We’re always looking to improve the stadium. That happens alongside Euro 2028. As the stadium owner now, we have to make sure the supporter experience is as good as it can be.

"There will be some additions and improvements that are made as part of the Euro 28 bid and hopefully when we’re successful, we can work out what those will look like.

“We bring certainty. We bring a track record. The stadiums and countries that are included in the hid have a track record of hosting world-class sporting events. A number of them have been in football.

“We’ve got easy transport links. Whilst it’s five nations, we are close geographically and that means it's accessible for supporters. That track record will be important when UEFA are assessing the bids.”
