World 4x400m relay bronze medallist and SSE Athlete Ambassador Eilidh Child is to captain the first-ever Scotland team to take part in the British Athletics International Match on January 25th.
The team – which also features SSE Para-Athlete Ambassador Libby Clegg - will be making its debut in the first major event in Glasgow in 2014 ahead of the Commonwealth Games.
They will compete against Great Britain & Northern Ireland, USA and a Commonwealth select team.
Child said: "I'm really honoured to be named captain. We don't really get the chance that often to compete in front of a home crowd.”
Child, the Scottish Athlete of the Year who won Commonwealth Games 400m hurdles silver in 2010, added: "It's obviously going to be a big year for Scotland with the Commonwealths.
"Hopefully I can do them proud when it comes to the championships.”
Libby Clegg’s inclusion marks the first time para-athletes have taken part in the match's 23-year history.
She will line up alongside guide runner Mikail Huggins in the T12 60m after winning double silver at the IPC World Championships.
