Following the launch of a new campaign to help Glasgow win the bid for
the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games by the First Minister, Nicola
Sturgeon MSP today (Monday) said:
"I offer my full support to the campaign and hope that it helps bring the 2014 Commonwealth Games to Scotland.
"Not only will the Commonwealth Games bring a huge boost to Glasgow,
they also are a fantastic opportunity for Scotland's top quality
athletes to be represented at a Scottish level across a wide range of
sports.
"Scottish athletes will be fantastic role models for a new generation
of sporting stars in Scotland and I also hope that in turn, the First
Minister will be inspired to give his support to the creation of a
Scottish Olympic team giving Scottish athletes the opportunity to
realise their dreams at Olympic level."
