    Of course it could, would just need more money/development and it could easily host them. (just as long as they don't get to organise the closing ceremony :54:).

    Yes i think it is very possible! Would be brilliant for the whole of Scotland and a slap on the face to the overrated Manchester lol

    There is as much chance of Glasgow hosting the Olympics as there is of Louth winning the All Ireland Football Championship this year.

    And guess what, Louth are already out!

    IMO you would need to build a new stadium hampden was ok for the CG but when u watch these things every other city got big new stadiums etc we got
    A veledrome and a hockey pitch!

    Ofcourse there would be no need for it after the events a bit like the London stadium

    Athens would have less of a chance than Glasgow to host the Olympics.
    Remember how much in debt Greece is. Do you honestly think that the people of Greece would allow them to spend the money they would have to spend to host it.
    Not a chance.
