Alan McRae, the Scottish Football Association president, has confirmed Scotland's Saturday night World Cup showdown with England will definitely go ahead at Hampden.
The Scots were drawn with the Auld Enemy at Saturday's draw in St Petersburg, along with Slovakia, Slovenia, Lithuania and Malta.
Last year, the oldest international rivalry in world football was played at Celtic Park, which allowed around 10,000 more fans to see the game than if it had been played at the national stadium.
But McRae, speaking after the draw, insisted there is no chance of a return to Celtic Park when the sides meet in June 2017.
He said: "The game will be played at Hampden. That's our national stadium. The only reason the Scotland v England game was at Parkhead last year was because Hampden was out of commission for the Commonwealth Games."
SFA chiefs will also soon meet for discussions with their FA counterparts over ticket allocation for the two games.
The Tartan Army were handed a bumper 20,000 allocation for their last trip to Wembley in 2013 which were quickly all snapped up.
And England were also handed a generous allocation for last year's friendly in Glasgow. But for a World Cup qualifier, allocations are likely to be slashed and McRae revealed talks will be held soon.
He said: "It's probably too early to say, but we'll try and get the best for our fans. I was at both games in 1999 and they were terrific.
"Both games at Hampden and Wembley will be wonderful occasions for the fans and we're very much looking forward to it."
Talks are also likely with Police Scotland, who are likely to be less than amused at the prospect of a 5pm kick off for the Hampden encounter on a summer Saturday night.
However, FIFA are almost certain to insist the kick-off stays at the same time because all games must start at either 5pm or 7.45pm.
