Dan Purvis became the 51st Scot to be named in the Great Britain Olympic team when he was included in the five-strong men's artistic squad but controversially there was no place for compatriot Dan Keatings, writes Roddy McKenzie.
It is a major surprise that Keatings, the all-around silver medallist at the World Championships in London, has been left out in spite of finishing third at last month's British Championships.
Keatings, brought up in Corby but whose father is from Edinburgh, had missed out when GB winning team gold at the European Championships earlier this year as he was recovering from an ankle ligament injury.
