THE world's only horizontal pole jugglers took to the ice for some last-minute practise before the Moscow State Circus opens today.

Azat Fatkhullin and Denis Yakovlev will perform in a big top at intu Braehead.

General Manager Ian Anderson said: "These artistes are more like Olympians with the stunts they perform, and we know that families from all over Scotland will be on the edge of their seats when they witness it."
