Opinion is being sought by Scotland’s leading footballing body over whether Hampden  Park should remain the country’s national stadium.

The SFA have contacted Scotland’s clubs and other football stakeholders in a letter to ask for their views on moving internationals and cup finals away from the stadium in Glasgow’s Southside.

The move comes ahead of the expiration of the stadium’s current lease which ends after Euro 2020.

The letter from the SFA is also part of an ongoing review of whether to remain at the national stadium or take matches in future to the other large stadiums in Scotland.

Celtic Park, Ibrox and Murrayfield are some of the stadiums which could be used if the footballing body decides to move.

It is understood, however, that the SFA want to have a complete picture of opinions on the issue and detailed cost comparisons on the options before making their decision to remain or leave.

Hampden has historically been the home of Scottish football.  But the SFA are currently tenants at the stadium which is registered as Hampden Park Limited at Companies House and is owned by Queen’s Park.

They are now exploring whether it would be better for them financially to end that arrangement.

The stadium will host Scotland’s World Cup qualifier against Malta tonight. It is anticipated that 25,000 fans, around half of its 52,063 capacity, will attend.
