England's Peter Barker says that he is happy to salvage a bronze medal at the CWG after missing out on the squash singles final.

England's squash bronze medallist Peter Barker has revealed how he was determined to secure a podium finish after missing out on today's final.

Barker beat Saurav Ghosal of India this afternoon to seal a third-placed finish in the singles event to ensure that he would not be leaving Glasgow without tangible reward for his efforts.

The 30-year-old, who also claimed bronze in Delhi four years ago, lost to compatriot Nick Matthew in Sunday's semi-final, and Barker says that disappointment spurred him on today.

"It wasn't easy and it was a very nip and tuck game. He played well and it was never comfortable ever," he told reporters.

"I was gutted after the semi-final but someone had to lose and I woke up today and I was determined to seize that chance of a bronze medal, that was my motivation."

Team England are guaranteed a gold medal in this afternoon's final, with Matthew taking on countryman James Willstrop.

The final is scheduled to begin at 3.45pm.
