SCOTTISH athlete Lynsey Sharp had posed on an Australian beach as she gears up for the Commonwealth Games - and the moment has attracted admiration from her fans.

The Rangers fan took time out from her preparations in Queensland to lap up the Oz sun.

She posted the snap on social media and said: "Totally candid."

One fan said: "Looking sharp, see what I did there. Good luck in the Commonwealth Games."

Another added: "Looking ripped."

Another fan said: "Wow stunning."

The athlete, 28, is due to compete in this year’s Commonwealth Games and will have hopes of emulating her own medal success when she won silver in the 2014 Games in Glasgow.
