Glasgow's Kirsty Gilmour takes home silver after defeat in badminton final
Scotland's Kirsty Gilmour fell short in her quest for gold at the Commonwealth Games as she lost 2-0 to Canada's Michelle Li in the women's singles final.
Glasgow-based Gilmour, the second seed, was unable to impose herself on the third seed at the Emirates Arena and had to settle for silver as she went down 21-14 21-6.
The match, between the players ranked 17th and 19th in the world, was expected to be evenly contested but it proved anything but as Gilmour was outplayed.
The 20-year-old Scot slumped to the ground after losing the final point - handing Canada a first gold in women's singles - after 38 minutes.
