> How are we ever going to get an airport link or a 'Clyde Metro' if we don't plan for them?

I find this a bit of an odd reaction to this news. The shopping centre used to be the site of a massive terminal rail station, but that doesn't mean it would be logical to build a new terminal rail station there. It's not at all obvious that we need a new terminal rail station.

In any case, the Metro plans contain lots of varied solutions for different needs the city has for new fixed rail routes. Like you say, one of them is a fixed rail route to the airport, but there's zero need to build a gargantuan new terminal station just to provide for that. It'd be a waste of energies and funds you could otherwise use for building a dozen new tram or train lines.
