Scotland's local star Laura Muir recorded one of the wins of the day as she set a national record on the way to victory in the women's 800m.

Muir a 20-year-old who was one of the revelations of 2013 as she lowered her personal best by sevens, looks set to be a potential medallist at Glasgow 2014 as she raced to victory in 2min 00.94sec, the sixth quickest ever by a British indoors.

Guy Learmonth was another to have the home crowd on their feet in the 600m men's race as the young Scot pulled off one of the biggest shocks of the day to come from last to first on the final straight to finish ahead of Kenya's Jeremiah Mutai and Great Britain's Andrew Osagie in a Scottish record.

Chris O'Hare was another shining star for the Scottish contingent, winning his 1500m race by the skin of his teeth.

The Scot, alongside Britain's Charlie Grice, made a real push for the line just before the bell, pulling ahead of Kenya's James Magut and the United States' David Torrence.

With 100m to go, O'Hare and Grice were battling for the win with Magut storming to close the gap from 10m further back.

The final 50m saw all three competitors neck and neck with O'Hare edging his two competitors in a three-way photo finish.

Two victories in the para-athletics events by Stefanie Reid and Libby Clegg ensured Scotland won five of the 22 events.

But results elsewhere left the home team bottom of the final points table, 13 behind the US.

The British team, minus Scotland, finished second overall with big wins for James Dasaolu and Asha Philips in the men's and women's 60m, and Holly Bleasdale in the women's pole vault.

Britain's captain William Sharman finished just a hundredth of a second behind eventual winner Jeff Porter of the US in a photo finish in the 60m hurdles.

Porter's wife Tiffany was unable to repeat her husband's success for GB in the women's hurdles as she dropped to second against American Nia Ali.

Child was unable to produce a winning performance in front of a sell-out crowd, venue of the track cycling and badminton events at the Commonwealth Games.

She finished fourth in the women's 400m with America's Francena McCorory gaining maximum points in first.

America's 39-year-old Bernard Lagat won the men's 3,000m ahead of Britain's Andy Vernon, whilst Britain's Shara Proctor won the women's long jump in a distance of 6.59 metres.

Commonwealth Select team captain Kim Collins, 37, won the men's 150m.
