Gold medal winning Ross Murdoch has taken bronze in the 100m breast stroke as compatriot Cameron Brodie finishes a close fourth in the 200m butterfly at Tollcross.
Ross Murdoch takes a bronze medal in the 100m breast stroke as England's Adam Peaty takes gold.
Earlier there was heartbreak for Scotland's Cameron Brodie in the pool when he was pipped for a bronze medal by a fraction of a second in the 200m butterfly.
Brodie, formerly of Inverurie, but who swims out of Stirling these days, had qualified fastest for the final, but even swimming three quarters of a second quicker in the final, to record his first Scottish senior record of 1.56.59secs wasn't enough to take home a medal.
Chad le Clos, the reigning World, Olympic and Commonwealth Champion, whom Brodie had actually beaten in the morning, showed his pedigree with a games record swim of 1.55.07secs, with Australia's Grant Irvine taking second, and Le Clos' countryman Sebastien Rousseau squeezing out the Scot by 0.16 of a second.
His fellow University of Stirling student Sian Harkin could only finish seventh in the women's 50m freestyle behind Fran Halsall of England, whose 23.96secs was another Games record.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
