Team Scotland have named their full swimming team for this summer's Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

In addition to the pre-selected Duncan Scott and Angharad Evans, there are three more 2024 Olympians named - Katie Shanahan, Keanna MacInnes and Lucy Hope.

Shanahan won two bronze medals in the pool at the 2022 Commonwealth Games, while Evan Jones is also picked having won bronze twice in Birmingham.

Archie Goodburn - who was diagnosed with inoperable brain tumours in 2024 - won 100m breaststroke gold at the Scottish Swimming Championships last year and is part of the 25-strong squad.

Swimming and Para-swimming events at the games will take place at the Tollcross International Swimming Centre from 24 to 29 July.

"I am absolutely delighted for the swimmers named in the Team Scotland squad for Glasgow this summer," Team Scotland chef de mission Elinor Middlemiss said.

"There is a great mix of experienced athletes and Games first-timers, showing we have an extremely talented team and real strength in the squad.

"It's also wonderful to see so many of our Youth Games team making the standard and having the opportunity to use that experience at a home Games.

"I wish everyone selected all the best in their preparations and look forward to seeing them in action in July."
