IT is fitting that today at 3pm, football’s traditional kick-off time, is when we will discover whether the Scotland team are to abandon their famous home of Hampden Park.

Ian Maxwell, the SFA chief executive, is to “announce a decision on the future of the National Stadium” and we will then know whether Scotland are staying put, moving to Murrayfield or something else such as taking games around the country.

The press conference is at Hampden which is, probably, an indicator of what is going to happen.

Whatever the decision, and it’s taken the best part of fortnight to reach one, there is but one guarantee and it's that not everyone will be happy.

Hampden isn’t good enough a stadium anymore to host cup finals and the bigger international matches, and it’s too big for most semi-finals and matches such as Alex McLeish’s men had against Belgium and Albania.

While Murrayfield is a rugby ground and - ya, boo, hiss, also is in Edinburgh. - it is, however, a much better and bigger venue.

There are as many pros as cons for both stadium and should Hampden win, as most expect, then the SFA must do something to improve the supporter experience.

Because, and this is undeniable, when full there are literally thousands with a dreadful view of the pitch.

Maybe they will share Hampden and Murrayfield, with Easter Road, Tynecastle and the new Aberdeen stadium being used when suitable. Or is that too sensible?

Of course, it's Hampden that has all the memories, from King Denis to King Kenny, and everything and everyone else in-between.

Whether it's Hampden or Murrayfield this is a big day for the SFA, Scotland and the ordinary supporter.
