Alness cyclist Kyle Gordon is out of the Commonwealth Games Men 15km final due to a shoulder injury sustained in a horror crash at the LeeValley Velo Park in London.

The Alness cyclist has been ruled out of tonight's Men 15km final after his injury was confirmed.

Team Scotland have also said they are waiting to find out if he will be fit to compete in the Points Race as well as the Time Trial and Road Race next week.
