An agreement is imminent which will see Glasgow host the next Commonwealth Games.
The Australian state of Victoria had initially been chosen as the hosts, but pulled out due to rising costs. Australian authorities have promised a “multi-million-pound investment” to help Glasgow host the Games.
However, the event will likely be a pared-down version of previous games, with the 2026 sporting jamboree likely to have fewer sports and competitions than in the past.
Glasgow previously hosted the Games in 2014.
