Scotland staying at Hampden

A deal has been struck for over €6m between the two parties, that will see ownership transfer from Queen's Park to the Scottish governing body. 

The SFA had been considering a move to Edinburgh's Murrayfield stadium, where the Scottish rugby team is already based. 

Queen's Park will now move their home games to Lesser Hampden, a pitch adjacent to the national stadium. 

However, the future is not all rosy as Hampden has come in for criticism from fans in recent years, and the SFA have many issues to address. 

"Our mission is to inspire a nation to love the game and having a home that we can call our own is an important part of that," said the SFA chief executive, Ian Maxwell. 

"While we are now committed to Hampden Park we also recognise that it needs to change. We have heard the fans' views throughout the process and agree with them that we need to improve access, transport links and the overall experience. We are committed to doing that.

"With that in mind, we need all of Scotland to pull together to make it Scotland's national stadium. We have heard many voice their support for the stadium. We need collective action, driven by the Scottish FA, to ensure it remains the beating heart of Scottish football."
