Glasgow wins Commonwealth Games in 2014

Glasgow has been announced as the host for the 2014 Commonwealth Games.

With the 2010 games in Delhi being seen as a risk, Glasgow was seen as being the safe option for 2014. Gavin Hastings jumped in the air despite being squashed like a sardine in the crowds, he has hugged strangers and will be for the rest of the day. The atmosphere in Glasgow is said to be unbelievable.

Susan Hughes says it is fantastic news for Glasgow and even people not involved in sport will be glad we won

Jack McConnell, former first minister, says it is fantastic to see the excitement and says it will put Glasgow on the international map and improve the profile of the city. He says 70% of the infrastructure is already in place due to everyone working together.

Nichola Sturgeon says it is phenomenal for Glasgow and Scotland and will mean so much to so many people will bring millions of pounds of investment, thousands of jobs and a real sense of pride.
