A deal to allow Glasgow to host the 2026 Commonwealth Games has been backed by the Scottish government, BBC Scotland understands.
A scaled-down version of the event, featuring fewer sports and athletes, will return to the city 12 years after it last hosted the games.
The Australian state of Victoria was originally chosen to stage the multi-sport event but withdrew as host due to rising costs.
Australian authorities have promised “a multi-million pound investment” to help finalise the deal.
