LOTTERY scratchcards could raise money to support the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games, the Holyrood sports minister said yesterday.
Shona Robison wants to discuss the idea with her UK counterpart, Andy Burnham, amid an ongoing row over funding.

She wants to secure the return of £150 million in lottery funds, which she said had been diverted from Scottish projects.

Ms Robison said: "Long after the last medal has been presented, we have our eyes on a bigger prize which will encourage and inspire everyone to live healthier, more active lives."

Scotland's very own London 2012 fiasco in the making. Surely this would be cash better spent improving Scotland's core infrastructures - health, education, transport? The SNP need to get their priorities straight. A two-week sports day which nobody is interested in attending is not a lasting legacy for Scotland.

I agree .Glasgow crossrail would be a real legacy for all Scotland.
