Alexander Ceferin makes Euro 2020 admission as Hampden put on red alert over hosting duties

UEFA president Alexander Ceferin has admitted that Euro 2020 may not be played across 12 cities as originally planned - with Hampden one of the venues due to host matches.

The tournament was supposed to be played this summer across several different nations to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the tournament.

The coronavirus pandemic has forced the European Championships to be pushed back by 12 months, with Scotland waiting to take on Israel in a play-off for the right to qualify.

If Steve Clarke 's men make it there's the carrot of home ties with the Czech Republic and Croatia, as well as a trip to face England at Wembley.

But UEFA 's president has admitted the format may not be the same by next summer, with three host cities unsure if they'll be able to stage matches.

Ceferin said: "In principle the idea is that we stay in the same cities.

"For now we have converstations. With nine cities everything is set, with three cities we have some issues.

"So we will discuss further and we will, in principle, do it in 12 cities.

"But if not we're ready to do it in 10, nine or eight cities."
