Glasgow is only able to host the 2026 Commonwealth Games due to the legacy of 2014, the man in charge of the event has said.

Phil Batty, chief executive of the Glasgow 2026 Organising Company, said the “huge public sector investment” in the Games 11 years ago was the reason why the city could host it again, but without any public money.
