Stay at Hampden but only if it gets revamp

-

FORMER Scotland No.1 Rab Douglas insists the national team must stay at Hampden – but only if the SFA redevelop the ground.

The Celtic old boy, 45, made his return to the National Stadium on Saturday as he helped Arbroath beat Queen’s Park 2-0 on his debut.

Hampden chiefs are set to discuss its future next month, with the SFA’s lease expiring in 2020.

But Douglas, who earned 19 caps, said: “You want to play at the National Stadium. I’ve been privileged to play there with Celtic, Scotland, Arbroath and Forfar.

“It’s needing redevelope­d again or they need to purpose build. This is the home of football and I have a lot of special memories.”
