Is Glasgow ready for the Commonwealth Games – and does the city care?

Meanwhile, Egelstaff fears the Games not being live on free to air TV will have an effect.

“There was some negativity before 2014 and that dissipated, but I think that’s almost impossible this time.

“It’s all on subscription TV so you aren’t going to come across it by chance.

“When you’re not able to do that, it can pass you by completely.”

Success might not just be measured in the short-term, though.

Back at Scotstoun, work is ongoing to transform the home of the Glasgow Warriors rugby team into a showpiece athletics venue.

Having a look through the fencing while heading to the nearby gym are Liffy MacIntosh and her six-year-old son Harvey.

Her enthusiasm for the upcoming sports is not just about watching, but in the effect it might have on her boy.

“I think it’ll be fabulous for the city, it shows what Glasgow has to offer,” she says.

“My son swims at Tollcross and it’s a chance to show him what he can maybe be if he works hard – I think it’s good having it back.”
