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.'

Skye Stout, 16, scores first goal for Kilmarnock as she silences trolls just days after horrific online abuse
Former footballers, sports stars and politicians had rallied around her SKYE'S THE LIMIT Skye Stout, 16, scores first goal for Kilmarnock as she silences trolls just days after horrific online abuse Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE world of football and beyond united in solidarity with Skye Stout a few days ago. The 16-year-old was subject to horrific online abuse after signing for Kilmarnock Women on Thursday - but now she's well and truly shut them up. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Skye Stout signed for Kilmarnock on Thursday and made her debut today Credit: Facebook 2 She went straight into the team to face St Johnstone - and repaid that faith in her Credit: KILMARNOCK FC The Ayrshire side made the decision to take down social media posts announcing her arrival at the club due to her being targeted with abuse over her appearance. Since then there has been a swell of support for the youngster, who has a skin condition. Football heroes such as Jamie Carragher, John Hartson and Ally McCoist posted messages on social media wishing her good luck in what is her first season in senior football. Former Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf also commented, saying: "Skye Stout has just signed for Kilmarnock, at 16 she has already achieved more than her trolls ever will. "Imagine being a grown man abusing a 16-year-old? What a sad, pathetic, unhappy life these trolls have. "Well done Skye, many more good people are rooting for your success!" Now she has silenced the trolls in the best way possible by letting her football do the talking. During Kilmarnock Women's Scottish Women's Premier League 2 game today against St Johnstone, the midfielder stepped up and scored a stunning free-kick to make it 4-0 to her team in the first half. The team posted on X (Twitter): "37' | SKYE STOUT!! "Skye fires in a free-kick on the edge of the box! Ex-Kilmarnock & Morton star Alan Mahood quizzed about his OWN career on Cult Heroes "Kilmarnock 4-0 St Johnstone." Earlier on, she played the key pass to set up her team mate Cara Gray for the goal that made it 3-0. The match at Winton Park in Ardrossan finished 6-2 to Kilmarnock, with Skye playing the first 62 minutes before being substituted. Hundreds of fans filled the comments section with words of encouragement for the player, who may well have attracted a few new fans to the club and perhaps to Scottish women's football. One wrote: "You said you would let the football do the talking! You show them! awesome!" Another said: "Fantastic!! Go Skye, mon the Killie!!" A third said: "Ya beauty! Well done, Skye. Well done team." And a fourth replied: "This will be the best received goal of the weekend. Skye Stout scores from a free kick on her league debut (I'm sure she's got too much class to put two fingers up to the haters)." As a rival fan joked: "The only goal from Killie I'll ever cheer for." And another said: "Putting aside the fact that I'm a Saints fan and celebrating that this girl is clearly hugely talented and showing the haters what she's made of." The Chelsea Women's Supporters Group also commented: "Things you to love to to see." And former Kilmarnock captain Craig Bryson said: "Well done superb." After she was subbed off, the positive comments continued. This fan said: "Well done Skye! And indeed her team mates too." Another replied: "Well done girls and great debut Skye." Even before the game had kicked off, people on Twitter were hoping Skye would score. When Kilmarnock announced she had gone straight into the starting XI, this fan said: "Hope Stout scores a hat-trick." Another said: "It's great to see Skye Stout to be named in the squad to play her first game of the season. I wish her all best of luck. She is going to be a superstar no matter the outcome of the game and she will be a future champion in my eyes and I really mean that from the heart." And a third said: "Good luck Stout. You will smash it. I think that you will score today." The vile trolling was first brought to light by Twitter account Team Grassroots, who highlighted that the posts had been deleted by Kilmarnock just a few hours after they had gone up. They said: "Please send your love and support to 16 year old Skye Stout from Scotland. "And don't let the ignorant bullies win. Yesterday, the official page of the Scottish club Kilmarnock women's team announced that the club had signed a contract with 16-year-old midfielder Skye Stout. "A grassroots player signing her first pro contract, should have been a moment to cherish for her, however Skye was forced to endure ridicule from ignorant and disrespectful fans who began to humiliate her over her facial acne. "Things escalated to the point where the club decided to delete all posts mentioning Skye Stout in an effort to stop the bullying from haters." Their post garnered responses from Carragher, Hartson and McCoist as well as England cricket hero Kevin Pietersen, TikToker Joey Swoll and even Australian TV channel ABC Sport. Several women's football teams also sent messages of support including Newcastle United, West Ham and Exeter City.

Pundit floored by sensational Hibs moment that outclassed ‘outrageous' strike as he holds Legia play off hope
Hibs moved within one round of the league phase of the UEFA Conference League with an aggregate win against Partizan. Sign up to our Hibs football newsletter Sign up Thank you for signing up!

Disbelief coursed around all corners of Easter Road as the Hibs faithful celebrated one of the most stunning strikes witnessed at their famous old home. With their participation in this season's UEFA Conference League in the balance after Partizan wiped out David Gray's side's two-goal first leg advantage, Scotland striker Kieron Bowie found himself around 40 yards from goal and took centre stage in a pulsating tie. With several options around him, the former Fulham man wasted little time in trying his luck from distance and sent a powerful, looping volley over visitors goalkeeper Marko Milosevic and into his net via the far post. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The reaction of team-mate Martin Boyle said it all as the Australia international put his hands on his head in utter disbelief over what he had witnessed from Bowie. It was far from the final act in a pulsating night at Easter Road - but it did prove to be a defining moment as it set the foundations for Hibs to progress into a play-off round tie with Legia Warsaw as the two sides meet in the first leg later this week. For pundit Andy Walker, who had a short loan spell at Hibs during his playing career, Bowie's strike was 'sensational' and the former Celtic and Sheffield United striker expressed his hope that David Gray's men could secure safe passage into the league phase of UEFA's tertiary club competition. He told Go Radio: 'I said earlier this week, I don't think I would see a better goal than Ben Brannan, the Kilmarnock volley that was absolutely outrageous. And that one last night from Kieran Bowie. Sensational stuff. So certainly it looks as though Easter Road is a place to be to see some special goals. It'll be a great tie against Legia Warsaw. I really hope Hibs can make that step. I just love to see any of the Scottish clubs that are involved in Europe getting involved in the group stages, the guaranteed European football that takes you up to Christmas and beyond. It's exactly what the players want. The players will learn a lot from it, just as the managers and all the coaching staff will as well.' What did David Gray say about Kieron Bowe's goal for Hibs against Partizan? Hibs head coach David Gray celebrates at the full time whistle | SNS Group Speaking after the game, the Hibs boss said: 'It's a good clearance. No, as I say, take his goal out of it, he was exceptional tonight. Everything he did from the first second onwards, he was a real handful. Everything we've spoken about Kieron before was there again to see. His goal was a special goal for a special night. I spoke about if you win the game tonight, it would be a special night. It doesn't matter how you get through, it would be a special occasion. It was great a goal, probably unfortunate that didn't actually win us the game there and then. So I'm delighted for him on a personal level because of what he's been through.'
