Scotland wins gymnastics gold and netball triumph at Glasgow 2026 Games

Scotland’s athletes shone at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. On day three the Scotland netball side beat Wales 56‑47, with standout performances from Hannah Grant, Emily Nicholl, Iona Christian, Hannah Leighton and Emma Barrie, securing a key group‑stage victory before facing Trinidad and Tobago.

In gymnastics, 21‑year‑old Reuben Ward claimed Scotland’s third gold medal of the tournament, winning the individual all‑round with a score of 79.650. The victory followed a disappointing fourth‑place finish for the Scottish team on the previous day and marked a dramatic turnaround for Ward, who said the Glasgow venue felt like a second home.

Scotland’s rugby union team also posted strong results, with Gregor Townsend’s side climbing to second place in the northern‑hemisphere group after wins in Argentina and South Africa and a narrow loss to Fiji, keeping the squad in contention for upcoming matches.
