The Scottish Government has already been in talks with Commonwealth Games Scotland and Glasgow City Council about the event returning to the city which hosted it in 2014.
The UK Government is leaving "no stone unturned" to help bring the next Commonwealth Games to Glasgow, Scottish Secretary Ian Murray has said - though he admitted the UK Government has "no public money available" to host the tournament.
His comments came after Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer told Scottish lobby journalists that his Government will talk to the Scottish Government about the situation. Meanwhile, Mr Murray said that, while there is no public cash to support bringing the sporting contest to Glasgow, he wants to see a "positive outcome".
Discussions are continuing over what the security costs associated with hosting the Games in Glasgow would be, the minister added.
