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.
Scotland could host the Commonwealth Games in 2026 without cash from the public purse being used to pay for the event, MSPs have been told.
The federation is due to announce its “favoured proposed host” for the contest this month, Mr Gray said. Adding that the federation is looking to “reset and reframe the Games”, he added: “Commonwealth Games Scotland have confirmed they are looking at a potential hosting solution in Glasgow, if an alternative host cannot be found.
With the city having hosted a “phenomenal games” in 2014, he added that the “infrastructure already in place puts Glasgow in a good position”.
