Is Glasgow ready for the Commonwealth Games - and does the city care?

The article discusses Glasgow's preparation for the 2026 Commonwealth Games, comparing it to the successful 2014 edition. While organizers claim the city is ready despite ongoing construction and challenges, there is a sense of uncertainty. The Games were chosen due to existing infrastructure after Australia withdrew, and the event has been scaled down to 10 sports. Around 3,000 athletes and thousands of volunteers are involved, with many expressing enthusiasm for the opportunity to contribute. However, the legacy of 2014 casts a shadow, with some participants recalling its success and others feeling pressure to match it.
