Team England long jumper Greg Rutherford has admitted that he is "desperate" to match his success at the Olympics when he gets his Commonwealth Games campaign underway.
Rutherford won a gold medal for Team GB during London 2012 as he produced a jump of 8.31 metres, and now he is determined to follow up that success in Scotland.
He told reporters: "I see it as a hugely important stepping stone and especially when it's in this country. We don't get many opportunities to compete in Great Britain, so this is a great opportunity to compete in front of a home crowd.
"I'm desperate to taste that success again. I've won one major championships in my career, and that's not enough in my opinion."
The 27-year-old gets his Glasgow campaign underway next week.
