Jack McConnell was right and we were wrong.

We never envisaged having to write those words. But credit is given where credit is due. Our visionary First Minister has proved us wrong.

When Shagger said that Scotland should support London's bid for the 2012 Olympics because of the economic benefits that would accrue to the Scottish economy, we were sceptical in the extreme.

"Another example of a South-East-centric government that couldn't think its way out of a paper bag and a poodle of a First Minister who can't fart without asking the permission of his masters in London" was what we thought.

But we were wrong and are slightly humbled by the enormity of the coup that Shagger has pulled off.

Now that the bid details have been announced, complete with a £2.4 billion investment in London, FirstFoot exclusively reveals the parts of the plan that have not yet been made public.

It was with great pleasure that we heard the announcement that some Olympic football matches have been earmarked for Hampden Stadium. While our many FirstFoot world exclusives may start to become routine and slightly dull for our readers, the thrill of being the first media organisation to publish really exciting news never dimishes for us. And so it is with relish that we can exclusively reveal the matches that will be played at our national stadium.

East Timor v Bhutan
Burkina Faso v Cook Islands
Guam v Kiribati
Nauru v Myanmar

We sincerely hope that both of the spectators enjoy the matches.

And finally, we can also exclusively reveal the economic benefits that Shagger was predicting. In a global exclusive, our man inside the Scottish Executive has smuggled out the following investment masterplan for Hampden.

Never again will we doubt the wisdom of our political leaders.
