Scotland compete as a team in the Sainsbury’s Glasgow International for only the second time in the history of the fixture at the Emirates Arena on Saturday January 24.
It is a huge opportunity for Scottish athletes to gain experience at international level in a match that will see them compete against GB and NI, France and Germany.
Nine Glasgow 2014 athletes have been named so far in the Scotland selection for January 24, including 800m specialist Guy Learmonth.
There’s also a younger element to the team, too, with scottishathletics very much of the view that January 24 provides an ideal chance for athletes, and their coaches, to earn their first taste of action at this kind of level, with thoughts already turning to Gold Coast 2018.
Learmonth, Jamie Bowie, Kirsten McAslan, Sarah Warnock, Ray Bobrownicki, Diane Ramsay, Greg Louden, Grant Plenderleith and Zoey Clark are those with Glasgow 2014 experience named so far.
Rodger Harkins, scottishathletics director of coaching, said: “It should always be an honour to wear the Scotland vest.
“There are one or two who missed out on the Commonwealth Games who will see what it took last summer to qualify and will be starting to think about Gold Coast 2018.
“It is chance for them, and indeed all the athletes, to push themselves forward.
“I am hoping that we will see some good signs of individual development.”
