First Minister Nicola Sturgeon insists there's currently no risk to Hampden's ability to host the Euros this summer - despite keeping Glasgow in level three restrictions for another week.
The tournament kicks off in three weeks time at Rome's Olympic Stadium and three days after that Steve Clarke's Scotland get their campaign underway at the national stadium against the Czech Republic - with an attendance of 12,500 due at all four matches set to be staged in the southside.
The country's largest city is now the only area of the country still in level three as this summer's festival of football nears.
But Sturgeon provided a positive message as she urged fans to keep the faith at Friday's Covid briefing.
She said: "No, I don't expect there is a threat to our ability to host the Euros.
"We keep all aspects of this under review but we're all looking forward to seeing Scotland playing at Hampden, seeing the other matches at Hampden and we should continue to look forward and be positive about that."
New health secretary Humza Yousaf, also present at the briefing, insisted there's currently no threat to the Tartan Army's chances of attending.
"Clearly the action we're taking now means that we hope by the time the Euros come, in early to mid-June, that we're in a much better place," he added.
"And we suspect we'll be able to allow those supporters to get into the stadium to watch Scotland play and hopefully Scotland win as well."
Level three restrictions meant a U-turn over the decision to allow 600 fans to attend the Scottish Cup final on Saturday.
Sturgeon also urged fans not to gather in numbers before or after this weekend's showpiece between Hibs and St Johnstone.
It's is sure to be an emotive occasion whoever wins on Saturday with St Johnstone chasing a historic cup double - and would be the first non-Old Firm team to accomplish that feat in over 30 years.
Meanwhile, Hibs are looking to win the Scottish Cup for the second time in five years after lifting their 114-year hoodoo in the competition in 2016.
The latest warning comes one week on from the scenes witnessed in Glasgow's city centre as Rangers supporters gathered in George Square to celebrate their Premiership title.
The First Minister said: "I've got two brief points I want to make before I finally finish - the first is about tomorrow's Cup Final.
"Tomorrow will of course be a big day for both St. Johnstone and Hibs fans, and I know fans will want to watch the game - however please don't gather in big groups.
"For supporters of the winning team in particular, and may the better team win, remember that no one, including fans, should be congregating anywhere in large numbers at the moment."
