The city's transport system is improving with the road and rail networks on track to be improved with the completion of the M74 and planned rail link to Glasgow Airport due to be open in 2008.
Strathclyde Passenger Transport chairman Alistair Watson said if the funding is in place the city can deliver a transport network capable of hosting the games.
He said: "By 2014 the airport rail link will be six years old and I expect Crossrail will also be established.
"We will also be looking at a rail station for Parkhead as a priority following the announcement of the indoor arena.
"SPT are capable of building it all we need is the funding."

Jamjes, Iv noticed the station at Cumberland St... whata sad state of play Iv often thought... never knew about the Brazen station tho
Just to confuse things, this quote from Crusty was to James73, i'm new(JamesMc) and i've finally been able to open a photobucket account to start posting pics. I stay near the Cumberland st station and recently got some pics which show the deterioration of the place. The interior shots are particularly sad and also quite eerie, i think. Doing some basic research, it opened in 1900, was enlarged in 1909 and closed in 1966. Lets hope if they do re-open this line or part of it, they can resurrect this grand old building.
