Glasgow Steps Up for Commonwealth Games | Belfast News

Scotland’s athletes are set to shine at the Commonwealth Games, with First Minister John Swinney rallying them to compete with pride and passion as the event kicks off this Thursday. King Charles and Queen Camilla will attend the opening ceremony, while Glasgow — having pulled off an incredible 18-month turnaround despite major renovations — stands ready to host. With Victoria’s withdrawal due to cost overruns, this year’s Games are smaller than in 2014, but Swinney praises organizers for saving the event. He’s brimming with excitement for Glasgow’s triumphant return, and Team Scotland is poised to deliver on the world stage.
