Sir Alex Ferguson believes that Hampden Park's history of hosting major finals makes it an ideal venue for matches in the 2020 European Championships.
The tournament will be spread across 13 cities, with UEFA announcing their selections on Friday and Glasgow, London, Cardiff and Dublin all candidates.
Former Manchester United manager Ferguson claims that Scotland's Hampden Park has an edge on some of its rivals because of its "special" atmosphere and its memorable appearances already in the European archives, including the 1960 European Cup final in which Real Madrid beat Eintracht Frankfurt 7-3.
"Everyone involved in the decision making only has to look back at the six finals [held at Hampden]," Ferguson told the Scottish Football Association. "The clubs will have fond memories.
"I went along there thinking that Eintracht Frankfurt were gods. They beat Rangers in the semi-final 6-3 at Ibrox Park, which was unthinkable, but Real Madrid splattered them 7-3. The atmosphere was unbelievable, with 133,000 people there.
"There was a documentary recently on [former Real Madrid forward Alfredo] Di Stefano where he spoke about his five finals, and he made a special reference to the people in Glasgow and the atmosphere in the stadium. The great point he made was two players scored seven goals - he scored a hat-trick and Ferenc Puskas scored four. He makes special reference to that night. That's a great basis for thinking about how special Hampden Park is for a final."
Hampden has been the home of six major European finals in total, most recently the 2007 Europa League showdown between Spanish sides Espanyol and Sevilla.
