Stewart Regan reveals that the Scottish Football Association intends to support Michel Platini in his bid to become FIFA president.

Scottish Football Association chief executive Stewart Regan has declared that the governing body intends to throw its weight behind Michel Platini's FIFA presidency bid.

The Frenchman announced last month that he will run to replace Sepp Blatter as top boss of the scandal-hit organisation.

Platini is thought to have received the backing of numerous associations, including the Welsh FA, with Regan revealing that the SFA will now do likewise.

"From the perspective of the smaller countries, he has opened up the channels of communication and ensured that every country, irrespective of size, has a voice," Regan is quoted as saying by the Daily Record.

"That is healthy for the game and if he is prepared to do that across the world, I'm sure he will be well-received. We discussed the FIFA election at our recent board meeting and agreed that the Scottish FA would support Michel Platini's candidacy."

An election to decide the new leader of world football's governing body is due to take place on February 26, 2016.
