Athlete to watch
Sir Bradley Wiggins: After ruling the road in the Tour de France in 2012, the knight of the realm returns to the track in major competition six years on from his last appearance. The four-time Olympic champion competes in the men's team pursuit against a stellar cast including Australia and New Zealand. Despite beginning his campaign to claim a fifth Olympic gold in Rio in 2016, Wiggins' return will have raised some eyebrows after being dumped by Team Sky but will his return be enough to inspire England to gold?
Event to watch
Men's Triathlon: After a thrilling duel at London 2012, Alistair and Jonny Brownlee go head to head again in the triathlon competition with both ready to put family aside in Glasgow. Alastair prevailed at the Olympics in London and in Kitzbuhel to claim the European title and is the favourite over is younger sibling Jonny, who claimed bronze at the Olympics and has only beaten his brother over the Olympic and Commonwealth distance when Alastair has been suffering from illness or injury. Nevertheless, it could be a cracker at Strathclyde Country Park.
Anything else?
England flag-bearer Nick Matthew begins the defence of his Commonwealth gold from Delhi in the men's squash preliminaries, England's men and women's hockey team start their campaigns while Olympic silver medallist Michael Jamieson goes in pursuit of Scotland's first gold medal of the Games in the 200m breaststroke.
