Global events firm to hire 250 roles for Glasgow 2026
Building on the employment legacy of Glasgow 2014, Trivandi wants to demonstrate how the Commonwealth Games experience can act as a launchpad for Scottish people to build careers on the global stage. The company is now actively seeking recruits with a passion for sports and events for Games roles. Glasgow 2026 will take place next summer, featuring 10 sports and welcoming 3,000 athletes from 74 nations and territories. READ MORE: There's only a year until Glasgow 2026 so why do we know so little? INTERVIEW: Why Glasgow will have a Commonwealth Games to be proud of in 2026 Central to Trivandi's approach is knowledge transfer through its Trivandi Academy, which will use its Chartered Management Institute-accredited programme to train people hired for Glasgow 2026 in major event planning and delivery, while providing internationally recognised certifications. Trivandi said it is also prioritising local suppliers during the Games. Alison Giles, Director of Trivandi Academy, said: 'The opportunities created during the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games led to many people from the city building exciting careers in events that have taken them around the world - with some returning to bring that experience back to Glasgow for the 2026 Games. 'The Trivandi Academy will create similar pathways for local talent to not just deliver these Games, but to lead future major events across Scotland and beyond. We're committed to empowering the next generation of event professionals who will carry Glasgow's sporting legacy forward." Trivandi will be responsible for the overlay and venue operations across all competition venues – including the Scottish Event Campus (SEC), Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome, Tollcross International Swimming Centre, and Scotstoun Stadium, transforming them into 'world-class' Commonwealth Games facilities before returning them to their usual use. Trivandi also said it will be taking a circular economy approach to event delivery, which will see all temporary installations designed for reuse at future events rather than disposal. Phil Batty OBE, CEO, Glasgow 2026: 'There is no better city than Glasgow to host this forward-thinking delivery model and change the future of how major multi-sport events are delivered. Our partnership with Trivandi signals our absolute confidence in delivering an exceptional Commonwealth Games in Glasgow next summer. 'Trivandi's world-class expertise and shared values of innovation, inclusion and impact will ensure Glasgow 2026 is remembered not only for outstanding sport but for the positive legacy it creates for communities, businesses as well as future host nations and the next generation of world-class athletes.' James Bulley OBE, CEO and Co-founder of Trivandi, added: "Glasgow 2026 represents a pivotal moment for the Commonwealth Sport Movement. Our commitment extends far beyond the Games themselves; we're investing in Glasgow's people, communities and sporting future. 'The legacy for Scotland will be substantial: another successful major event that will attract future competitions to the country, a trained workforce ready to deliver events in Scotland, the UK and around the world, and a supply chain exposed to a global audience that opens doors to international opportunities.'

Celtic fired bullish Champions League warning by confident Kairat boss as 12 year hex bodes well for Kazakhs
Urazbakhtin is determined to gain a famous win against the Hoops and make more European history Confident Kairat Almaty boss Rafael Urazbakhtin reckons his players have a 'great chance' of stunning Celtic after he was handed a huge vote of confidence by his board. The Hoops face a gruelling trip to central Asia to face Kairat after they downed Slovan Bratislava on penalties and became the first team from Kazakhstan to reach the Champions League playoffs. It was a much-needed win for boss Urazbakhtin after Kairat chairman Kairat Boranbayev was forced to give assurances his manager's job was safe ahead of the tie. And Urazbakhtin is determined to gain a famous win against the Hoops. He said: "I told the players they must remember this happy moment. We are making history. I urged them to keep their hunger and preserve it for the next round. "We now have a great chance of making some noise in Europe." It was a huge triumph for Urazbakhtin after Kairat chief Boranbayev was quizzed about his future this week. He said: "Of course we trust Rafael Urazbakhtin. He has worked hard as our head coach and continues his work. There are no discussions about his future. "Any stories suggesting otherwise are made up. "Rafael has been with us for nine years. He started as a coach at the children's academy, gradually went through all the stages within the club. "We have clear criteria for career growth for all coaches. It is built in such a way that they will continue to develop by going through all the stages at this club. "The same thing has happened with Urazbakhtin." When the two sides face off, Celtic will attempt to become the first Scottish team to smash a Kazakhstan hex after seven previous failures. The Hops face a marathon 3,536-mile, 11-hour trek from Glasgow in the Champions League play-off round second leg as they bid to reach the league stage. But Scottish clubs have a nightmare record in the former Soviet outpost in Asia and have lost on five of the seven occasions and drawn twice. Celtic have been in Kazakhstan on three occasions, but each time it was in Astana. In 2013, they crashed to a disastrous 2-0 defeat to Shakhter Karagandy, who had moved their game to the capital. Three years later, Celtic did at least salvage a 1-1 draw against FC Astana, and a year later, Celtic lost 4-3 in the away match to the same opponents, although the tie was wrapped up after a 5-0 home victory. Scotland also suffered an infamous defeat under Alex McLeish six years ago when they were destroyed 3-0 also in Astana. And three Scottish teams have also played 770 miles to the east in Almaty too. Aberdeen lost 2-1 to Kairat Almaty ten years ago in the Europa League when a Kenny McLean goal wasn't enough for Derek McInnes' team, who could only draw 1-1 at Pittodrie in the return and were eliminated. And Scotland Under 21s have twice played there in the past three years - they drew 2-2 in 2022 when current Celtic scout Peter Houston took charge of the team because manager Scot Gemmill was suffering from Covid in a match with floodlight failure. Last October, they lost 3-2 at the crumbling Almaty Ortalyk Stadium despite a wonder striker from new Udinese star Lennon Miller, when a win would have seen them qualify for the Euros playoffs.

Ex-Celtic star spotted going wild as he does the huddle at Oasis Murrayfield gig with 70,000 fans
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) OASIS have partied with around 200,000 Scots over the past few days. And as they rounded off the Edinburgh leg of their tour with a third gig at Murrayfield Stadium, a former Celtic star was in the thick of the action as the crowd did their own version of 'the huddle'. Sign up for the Celtic newsletter Sign up 3 Do you recognise this former Celtic star at Murrayfield? Credit: Instagram 3 He filmed the Oasis crowd's version of the huddle Credit: Instagram 3 He was among the near-70,000 who packed out the stadium Credit: Instagram The Manchester rockers enjoyed a Scots heatwave for their final concert in the capital, as fans basked in 26C temperatures. Frontman Liam Gallagher took another pop at the local council in the process, as those in the audience lapped it up. Ex-Celtic captain and manager Neil Lennon was one of the lucky ones to snap up a ticket for the last of the Scottish comeback gigs. He was pictured in sunglasses and a band t-shirt on his way to Murrayfield. And from inside the stadium itself, ex-Celt Simon Donnelly shared some footage of the crowd doing 'the huddle'. Made popular by another Celt in Tony Mowbray, the ritual is now a famous part of Hoops folklore, where the players gather on the pitch just before kick-off to listen to a passionate speech led by the captain at the time. At Murrayfield things looked a little different but Donnelly had his camera out for the moment fans linked arms and began to jump in time with the music, as the band kicked into one of their biggest crowd-pleasers, Cigarettes & Alcohol. Donnelly, wearing a bucket hat and large glasses that he joked made him look like snooker legend Dennis Taylor, filmed the dancing antics from his spot in the stands, with the standing section below him. He posted the video on his Instagram account and captioned it: "It's no easy filming the huddle, Dennis Taylor sorted it". Around 70,000 fans packed out Murrayfield for the iconic group's third and final gig at the venue. FOUR new Celtic signings could be on the way but 'waiting game' could risk it all Lead singer Liam took umbrage with city councillors for labelling Oasis fans 'drunk', 'lairy', 'fat' and 'old' in secret safety briefings. At their opening gig on Friday he branded officials "f****** slags." He called them out again last night, saying: "£3billion we've brought into this city over the past five days. And that's between you and us. Three billion f****** quid. "You won't see f*** all, because they'll rob it and spread it among their posh ugly mates. "Still waiting for our apology, bring it on down, you c****". Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page
