GLASGOW’S Squinty Bridge has been chosen as the symbol of the city as it prepares to host matches during Euro 2020.

Sir Alex Ferguson helped unveil the city logo for the anniversary tournament, which will see cities across Europe hosting matches.

Bridges are the theme of the logos for all host cities, from London to Copenhagen and St Petersburg to Rome, and Glasgow’s £20 million Clyde Arc represents Scotland.

Scotland’s Euro 2020 ambassador Sir Alex said of Glasgow: “It’s been the home of some fantastic finals, I can’t think of a bad one.”

Hampden will stage three group stage games and one last 16 match in the 2020 tournament, which marks the 60th anniversary of the European confederation Uefa. Every qualified host will be guaranteed two home games in the group phase.

The Scottish Government and Glasgow City Council are supporting the staging of the games and believe it can boost tourism across the country.

Culture Secretary Fiona Hyslop said: “Glasgow’s participation as a host city is likely to have a significant economic impact not just for Glasgow but for Scotland.”

Wembley Stadium in London will host the semi-finals and final of Euro 2020, with Glasgow joining Dublin, Munich, Baku, Rome, St Petersburg, Bilbao, Bucharest, Brussels, Budapest, Copenhagen and Amsterdam as the hosts.
