Sort of answered this in another comment, but there's no tremendous need to run trams down Sauchiehall Street. The fact it's difficult to do it the street's current urban realm design (which can always be changed) doesn't mean that the idea of trams are a non-starter in other locations.

There are other east-west streets in the city centre that would work quite well for tram corridors. You could transform Sauchiehall Street to host trams, but I don't think there's any need to prioritise it, and don't think any current plans envision it to be honest.

St Vincent Street is the most likely eventual candidate for trams at some point in the future. It runs through the very centre of the city centre, and would provide a straight forward interchange with Queen Street Station at George Square, while allowing easy further passage for trams onto the best candidate for an eastward tram route: Duke Street.
