The official endorsement of the scheme dreamed up by Michel Platini, the Uefa President, to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the first European Championships, draws a line under the Scottish FA's attempt, along with their Irish and Welsh counterparts, to stage the entirety of the 24-team tournament themselves.
