Team Scotland cyclists Aileen McGlynn and Louise Haston win their country's first medal of the Commonwealth Games with silver in the Para-sport sprint B2 tandem.

Aileen McGlynn and Louise Haston have won Team Scotland's first medal of the 2014 Commonwealth Games, taking silver in the women's Para-sport sprint B2 tandem.

"To win Scotland's first medal of the games on home soil, in front of a home crowd, with a saltire on my back is fantastic. The noise that was coming from the crowd really spurred us on," McGlynn told reporters.

"Considering this is my first sprint competition I am delighted to come away with a Commonwealth Games Silver medal. I can't wait until Sunday to hear that home crowd cheer us on for the 1,000m time trial," added Haston.

Gold was taken by Team England's Sophie Thornhill and Helen Scott.
