2007-04-27

In fantastic news for Scottish football, Hampden (the Scottish national stadium) has been afforded the honour of hosting the 2007 UEFA Cup final. From the bbc:

The Glasgow venue got the vote ahead of the City of Manchester Stadium and other bidders considered by European football’s governing body. SFA chief executive David Taylor said: “This is great news for Scottish football and the planning starts now to make it an outstanding success. “The Champions League final at Hampden Park in 2002 was a marvellous event and Uefa were enormously impressed.”
