Scottish Football Association chief Stewart Regan was in a positive frame of mind after Glasgow was awarded a spot on Euro2020 by UEFA.
Scotland's largest city has been named as one of 13 cities around Europe that will host matches for the European championships in six years' time and Regan said it was a fantastic result for the nation.
"It is wonderful news and I would like to thank everyone who has been involved from the outset of what has been a fantastic bid," Regan told the association's official website.
"I believe Glasgow and Hampden Park will throw a fitting birthday party for the European Championships and I know the whole country will make it an occasion to remember.
"We have worked hard to establish our strategic plan and today's announcement gives us a perfect platform on which to realise our ambitions. It would be great if Scotland can qualify for Euro 2020, playing in front of a full house at Hampden Park with a successful national team represented by graduates from our Performance Schools.
"On the back of a hugely successful Commonwealth Games, and ahead of what will be a memorable Ryder Cup, I am delighted Scotland, Glasgow and Hampden Park will again look forward to being the focus of worldwide attention for Euro 2020."
