“To suggest that we are planning to launch a bid is wide of the mark, but we have had tentative talks with the Welsh and further talks are planned with Northern Ireland when the International Board meets in Belfast at the end of February,” a Scottish FA spokesman said.
“We all know none of us can stage a 24-team tournament as it will be in 2016 but we are exploring the possibility of co-hosting.”
“It would be terrific,” UEFA’s general secretary David Taylor, himself a Scot who was part of an unsuccessful bid to bring Euro 2008 to Scotland and Ireland told The Herald newspaper in Glasgow. “But I must be careful here. My enthusiasm for and advice to any country could be perceived in the wrong way. Many countries in UEFA are capable of hosting the tournament.”
