The city will hold a scaled-down version event, 12 years after last hosting the Games.

Fantastic news, 2014 was genuinely great to be in Glasgow. And Glasgow has many venues ready to roll, so the reduction to 10 different disciplines makes lots of sense. I attended a fair bit of the rugby sevens, so hoping to see that again, but swimming, cycling, and athletics are all no brainers for Glasgow to host, as would badminton, indoor bowls, and curling potentially. Exciting times!

      I think the 2014 made money, but Glasgow got a big grant to update the velodrome and pool to do it. Big grant this time too, and fewer events should mean less road closures
