Lemoncello powered by prayer as Scots leave London with heads held high

Fifer Andrew Lemoncello and Leeds-based Glasgow runner Susan Partridge both qualified for the European Championship marathon in Barcelona. They confirm that they will accept selection, but this strikes a major blow at Scottish Commonwealth Games hopes for Delhi in October.
