The Commonwealth Games come to Glasgow next week - is the city ready?

Is Glasgow ready for the Commonwealth Games - and does the city care? At the conclusion of the 2014 Commonwealth Games, Glasgow's then council leader Gordon Matheson was in no doubt how successful the event had been. Not only has Glasgow and her citizens completely embraced the Games, but we have demonstrated our credentials as a world-class city, he declared . As the city prepares to welcome the Games back, the mood is not nearly as bright or positive. Glasgow will welcome athletes against a backdrop of roadworks, refurbishments and the remains of a building ravaged by fire sitting next to the city's largest train station - but organisers are keen to stress the city is ready.
