Wiki cites this as its source and it's from UEFA's official website, surely it's a mistake?

"Scottish hospitality

If the bid is successful, Scotland will host the opening match and the final of the tournament, as well as three of the four groups, three quarter-finals and a semi-final. Ireland will host one of the four groups, as well as a quarter-final and a semi-final. The exact stadium details have yet to be confirmed but Glasgow's three UEFA five-star stadiums - Celtic FC's Celtic Park, Rangers FC's Ibrox stadium and Hampden Park - will be used as well as Edinburgh's Murrayfield stadium.

Celtic Park was to be upgraded if we got the games but we didnt and it wasnt. That bit was written in something like 2003 or yonks ago anyway (tu)

Celtic dont have it. There is one about the size of the changing rooms being equal and Rangers changing area is slightly larger than the away teams' but at septic park the home is alot bigger apparently...

It seems to be on the back of the fact that Platini said the stadium was '5-star'. Just because he likes it and chose those words to describe it doesn't put it on UEFA's official list.

Plus a story relating to the Scotland/Irelands bid for Euro 2008 described it as a 5 star stadium. This article was obviously wrong.

Looking at the history it was only changed a couple of hours ago - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contr...s/86.153.194.11
