Latest updates

Here is the latest updates on what is happening at the games today!

Eilish McColgan pulls out of the Commonwealth Games due to injury recovery

Dundee’s Eilish McColgan withdrew from the Commonwealth Games as she continues recovering from injury.

She was due to defend her 10,000m title on Monday that she won in Birmingham.

The reigning 10,000m champion says she “gave it absolutely everything” to be ready for Glasgow but has run out of time following a broken toe.

She’ll still be supporting Team Scotland throughout the Games and hopes to return to competition later this season.

Team Scotland wins their opening 3x3 Men’s Wheelchair Basketball match

There’s better news for Team Tayside this afternoon as Dundee’s Shayne Humphries has helped Scotland to victory in their opening men’s 3x3 wheelchair basketball match at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games.

Scotland got their campaign off to the perfect start with a 15-9 victory over South Africa, earning an important opening win in the group stages.

Humphries becomes the first Team Tayside athlete to celebrate a victory at Glasgow 2026, with Scotland now carrying valuable momentum into their next group match against Malaysia on Sunday.

Losses in netball and 3x3 women’s basketball opening matches for Team Scotland

Scotland’s netball team has suffered defeat to New Zealand in its opening Pool B match, with Perth’s Cerys Cairns part of the squad as the Scots began their Commonwealth Games campaign.

Meanwhile, there was also disappointment in the opening women’s 3x3 basketball fixture, with Hannah Robb and Ella Doherty unable to guide Scotland to victory against Tonga in their first group-stage match.

There is little time to dwell on the results, however, as Scotland’s women return to the court later today to face England before taking on Singapore this evening.
