Could team Scotland provide one final golden moment on the last day

of the Commonwealth games? After a thrilling victory in the badminton

semifinals, Kirsty Gilmour had the chance to win the first ever singles

title for Scotland. It was almost perfect. I gave so much yesterday.

Mentally, I wasn't although today. I am not complaining. The squash

doubles team were looking to add one more medal to Scotland was not

tally, but England's team proved too strong. Cycling's Road race was hit

by dreadful weather conditions. In David Miller's final Commonwealth

games, he did well. There aren't Thomas overcome, puncture to one.

Team Scotland have exceeded all expectations.

So the spotlight is moving to Hampden Park tonight for the

It is pretty nicely already. Last-minute sound checks are going

on. We know there will be lots going on. Kylie Minogue will be here. It

will be a very emotional handover. Looking back, these have been very

successful. I think we will be talking about this for a long time.

Thank you. Onto the news. Police Scotland have released

the name of a teenager, who died after falling into a silo

on a farm in the Borders on Friday. He was 19-year-old Zach Fox

from Hawick. The defence contractor Babcock

has told its Clyde-based workforce that independence

could lead to job losses. The Scottish government, however,

insists a "Yes" vote will protect Trident missiles maintained and

stored at Killian Clarke. Nearby, Faslane, the Royal Navy submarine

base. Babcock employs 1500 people across both bases. A leaked copy of

notes from a meeting have been released. They say:

future of shipbuilding on the Clyde. If Scotland becomes independent, we

cannot expect these kinds of contracts will be maintained. Not

so, says the Scottish government. Under its plans, Faslane would be

changed to a Scottish naval base and protect and create jobs. The use of

Faslane would be different. We don't want to have nuclear weapon is

continuing in Scotland, but Faslane would continue to feature in a

strong Scotland. The defence industry supports thousands of jobs

across Scotland. Defending those is a key independence issue.

The forecast for tonight is all important.

Good evening. Many places today having a fairly wet today. You can

see these showers moving northwards, and some of these very

heavy and persistent. If you are heading to the closing ceremony

tonight, the last of the heaviest showers have moved away. There is

always the chance of more showers. It is a dull and damp night. The

heavy showers still in the North. Some mist and fog patches forming

inland. Tomorrow, damp and breezy in the West to start.

Until then, from everyone on the team here in Glasgow, enjoy

Good evening. Some of us have had a sunny weekend but for others it has

not stopped raining for the last couple of days, you can see where on
