A handful of top sports personalities were revealed today as the latest ambassadors for Glasgow 2014.

The five are London 2012 gold medallists Jessica Ennis-Hill and Nicola Adams, Olympic and Commonwealth Scottish swimming stars Michael Jamieson and David Carry and Scotland's most successful Commonwealth Games athlete, Allan Wells, will front the Games' ticketing campaign.

Jessica, Nicola and Michael will feature in posters from today and in a 40-second TV advert that will be aired across Scotland and the north of England, and shown in cinemas, from next Monday, when tickets go on sale.

The advert, narrated by Grey's Anatomy star Kevin McKidd, showcases the action in store for next summer.

The five athletes join Sir Chris Hoy, Billy Connolly, Rebecca Adlington and Martin Compston as official Glasgow 2014 ambassadors.

Ennis-Hill, 27, who won heptathlon gold in London, said: "I'm really excited about the Games in Glasgow and delighted to be an ambassador. Having a major championships in Britain so soon after the Olympics in London is brilliant and to have the support of a crowd made up of the home nations will really help us athletes achieve our best again.

"I'll never forget the roar of the crowd in London and hope everyone goes out to buy tickets to add their support for us once again.

"My goal is to add the Commonwealth gold medal to my Olympic, World and European ones - the full set would be amazing."

Breaststroke 200m silver medallist from the Olympic and Commonwealth games, Michael Jamieson, 25, from Robroyston in Glasgow, said the 2014 Games would be the highlight of his career.

He said: "Tollcross, the venue for swimming at the Games, is the pool in which I trained as a youngster and decided that I wanted to take swimming seriously.

"I've trained in that pool with just my coach watching; I can't wait to swim there in front of a packed home crowd creating what I'm sure will be a wall of noise.

"Swimming for me is all about competing and performing in big competitions, and they don't come much bigger than a Commonwealth Games in your home city and home pool."

Nicola Adams, who made history by becoming the first woman to win an Olympic boxing gold medal, is aiming to repeat the feat in the first Commonwealth women's boxing competition.

She said: "Having the Games in Glasgow I know the public support will be fantastic and I'm looking forward to getting back into the ring and giving everyone something to cheer about."

Tickets for the Games start at £15 for adults with half price concessions for under-16s and over-60s. Two-thirds of the one million tickets will cost £25.
