The Glasgow Events Board has approved the development of a feasibility study, with the city eyeing a bid to host the 2024 World Indoor Athletics Championships.
It follows on from the city s hosting of the European Athletics Indoor Championships in 2019 at the Emirates Arena.
Later this year, a recommendation will be made on whether Glasgow should launch a bid, according to the
