Ross Murdoch admits that he feels physically and emotionally tired following an eventful week in the pool at Glasgow 2014.

Team Scotland swimmer Ross Murdoch has admitted that he feels emotionally drained after finishing sixth in tonight's 50m breaststroke final at Tollcross.

The 20-year-old stole the headlines at the start of the week when he beat favourite Michael Jamieson to a gold medal in the 200m breaststroke final, as well as setting a new Commonwealth record.

Since then, Murdoch has gone to win a bronze and break a further record, but failed to get on the podium in tonight's 50m final, which was won by South Africa's Cameron van der Burgh.

"I've had a long week, it's been physically tiring, emotionally tiring," Murdoch told reporters. "It's been a tough week for myself. Also, I'm not feeling as speedy as I normally do. I've been working a lot on my 200m and I think that's shown, but I really enjoyed myself tonight."

Scotland currently have nine medals from the pool.
