Scottish Football Transfer News: Rangers backed to sign defender, Celtic transfer blow, Aberdeen and Hibs linked with ex-Scotland star, Ross County plan winger swoop

It was revealed on Monday that the European Championships could return to Scotland with the country part of a joint-bid to host Euro 2028.

Glasgow was one of the host cities for Euro 2020 which was held last year. Despite the reduced capacity due to Covid-19 restrictions it was seen as a success. Now Scotland, as well as England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland have joined forces to host the tournament in six years’ time.

By then it could be a 32-team tournament rather than the current 24-team version, while hosting duties could see Hampden Park redeveloped.

Scottish FA chief Ian MAxwell said: "The stadium piece is an important one for us, there's no doubt about that, and we need to look at exactly what hosting a Euro in 2028 can bring in terms of the development of Hampden.

"We are very much focused on developing Hampden and we need to engage with the Scottish Government primarily to see what hosting a Euro can help with in that regard."

Moving back to domestic focus, there are are two games in League One this evening with Falkirk and Queen's Park pushing for a play-off spot. Tomorrow sees games in the Championship, including Kilmarnock against Ayr United, and a full fixture card in the Premiership.

The big matches come at the top of the table with Aberdeen hosting league leaders Celtic and Hibs making the trip to Ibrox to face Rangers.
