Glasgow announces bid as back-up host for Commonwealth Games in 2026

The Commonwealth Games could soon return to Scotland after Glasgow announced a bid to host the games in 2026.
The sporting tournament was due to be held in Victoria but the Australian state pulled out last year over rising costs.
The Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) is in advanced talks with other nations to host the games.
But a back-up plan has been drawn up for the competition to return to Glasgow if talks with other countries fail.
