STEWART REGAN is adamant that Scotland's bid to host games at Euro 2020 won't be affected by the outcome of today's independence vote.

A Uefa evaluation report criticised the SFA's bid to be one of 13 host cities as "inadequate" and "lacking clarity" last week and stated the issue would have to be "re-assessed" following the referendum result.

But the Association's chief executive has no fears our bid will be compromised as Uefa get set to announce their decision just hours after the votes have been counted across Scotland.

Regan insisted: "It will have no impact at all. We have a Scotland team, we play as the Scottish FA, and we will be staging matches irrespective of whether Scotland is a separate nation or not.

"As far as we are concerned, it is in there simply to flag up to Uefa's Executive Committee members that they'll vote on which cities to award Euro 2020 Championship games to one day after the referendum here.

"We believe it is in there simply to flag up the political status."

The SFA's bid to clinch one of the 13 coveted spots has had some high-profile backing in recent weeks.

Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson was the latest big name to add his weight to the proposal.

Hampden is in the running to host three group stage fixtures and one knockout round clash. Regan reckons history is on our side as he looks to attract more big games to Glasgow.

He said: "Firstly, we have every reason to be positive ahead of tomorrow's announcement. Hampden Park is synonymous with the most famous moments in European football.

"They include what is arguably the greatest game ever - between Real Madrid and Eintracht Frankfurt in the 1960 European Cup final - to arguably the greatest Champions League goal ever, by Zinedine Zidane for Real against Bayer Leverkusen in 2002.

"On top of that, the stadium, the city and the country as a whole have vast experience in putting on world-class sporting events.

"The Commonwealth Games at Hampden have been hailed as the best ever and Scotland will shortly be hosting the Ryder Cup before a huge global TV audience.

"I am certain the city of Glasgow and the National Stadium would provide an ideal venue for the European Championships' 60th birthday party.

"And I would like to thank everyone involved in putting this excellent bid together."
