Glasgow 2014 Mascot Clyde Rules Out 2026 Commonwealth Games Role

News summary

Clyde the Thistle, the beloved mascot of the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games, has officially ruled himself out of returning as the mascot for the Glasgow 2026 Games, ending months of speculation. Despite stepping back from mascot duties, Clyde will still have a role at the upcoming event, with details yet to be revealed. The new mascot, created by 76 schoolchildren from 24 Glasgow schools, will be unveiled on July 23, one year before the Games begin, and is described as embodying Glasgow's warmth, wit, and charm. The 2026 Games will be a scaled-back event compared to 2014, following Glasgow's selection as host after Victoria, Australia withdrew due to rising costs. Clyde’s legacy remains strong, having been immortalized through statues around the city and selling over 50,000 cuddly toys during the 2014 Games. Organizers express confidence that the new mascot will capture the spirit of the Games and inspire a new generation of fans across Glasgow, Scotland, and beyond.
