Nicola Sturgeon MSP today (Thursday) wished Glasgow the best of luck in its bid to host the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games.
Ms Sturgeon was commenting as Scotland formally entered the race to host the games today.
Ms Sturgeon said:
"I wish Glasgow the best of luck in bringing the 2014 Commonwealth Games to Scotland.
"Glasgow is a fantastic city and hosting the 2014 Commonwealth
games will be a huge boost to the area, not only in jobs but in
re-development.
"The games will be an opportunity for Scotland's top quality
athletes to be represented at a Scottish level across a wide range of
sports.
"Our Scottish athletes will be fantastic role models for a whole new
generation of young sporting stars and I hope that hosting the
games in Glasgow will provide inspiration to the creation of Scotland's
own Olympic team."
