Scotland swimmer Daniel Wallace hopes that seeing him win a medal will inspire young Scottish swimmers to compete in the sport.

Daniel Wallace has said that he hopes his performances at the Commonwealth Games will inspire the next generation of swimmers for Scotland.

The 21-year-old won gold in the 400m individual medley, while also picking up silvers in the 200m event and 4x200m freestyle relay for Scotland.

He told PA: "We might not be the biggest country or have the most people, but we have some of the most patriotic athletes and fans, and we need to remind ourselves of that. We can do great things when we work together and believe in one another.

"If more kids believe they can one day win world championship medals, Commonwealth medals, Olympic medals, they can do something great with their lives.

"It might not be the most entertaining sport but if there are more characters out there like myself who get the crowd involved, it will hopefully raise awareness and get more people involved in the sport. Hopefully I can raise awareness of swimming in Scotland and inspire some of the younger generation. Team Scotland has a great mix of ages and the future looks bright for us."

Scotland won a total of 10 medals in the swimming events at Tollcross.
