Euro 2020: Scotland's bid for games could be reassessed after vote on independence

Legal aspects regarding Scotland's bid to host games at Euro 2020 may be "reassessed" if the country gains independence, according to UEFA.

The Scottish FA has submitted a bid for Glasgow's Hampden Park to host three group games and one match in the knock-out rounds of the tournament, which is being held in 13 countries around Europe.

Cardiff's Millennium Stadium and the Dublin Arena are also bidding for group matches, while Wembley is the frontrunner to host the final with only one rival in Munich.

UEFA's executive committee will vote on the host cities on September 19, the day after the Scottish referendum.

The evaluation report carried out by UEFA into the bids says of the Scottish bid: "Scotland being part of the UK, the legal situation is mostly - but not entirely - identical to that of England and Wales.

"The situation may have to be re-assessed should Scotland become independent of the UK following the referendum."

The evaluation report also criticises the commercial part of the Scotland bid as being "inadequate" and "lacking clarity".

It read: "The commercial sector of the bid is inadequate, as the information provided lacks clarity. The amount of advertising space offered is vague."

But Glasgow's transport links and hotel accommodation are praised, as are plans for fan zones.

Wembley is regarded as the favourite after the German FA announced it may not push hard for Munich in order to concentrate on a bid to host the entire Euro 2024 tournament.
