Scotland’s Group D clashes with the Czech Republic (June 14) and Croatia (June 22), as well as Croatia’s group clash with the Czechs on June 18 and a round of 16 game on June 29, will now take place in a stadium at 25 per cent capacity thanks to coronavirus lockdown easing.

Scottish FA President Rod Petrie said: “An enormous amount of effort has gone into the submission but also in ensuring Hampden Park is ready to welcome supporters, not least with Scotland having secured qualification.”

Plans for a Fan Zone in Glasgow are being considered.
