GLASGOW 2014 has won another major award.
The Commonwealth Games' Ruby Sevens tournament has been named as the top Rugby Event of the Year by industry experts.
Glasgow 2014's Rugby Sevens tournament beat competition from the Super League Magic Weekend in May, at Rugby Expo 2014.
David Grevemberg, Glasgow 2014 Chief Executive, said: "Rugby Sevens as a sport was born in Scotland.
"So it's really wonderful to see Glasgow and Scotland's Commonwealth Games showcase for the sport recognised as the top rugby event this year.
"The two days of Rugby Sevens at Ibrox were remarkable and memorable not just for the incredible sport but also for the sheer energy and enthusiasm generated by the crowds.
"We're really proud to have played our part in sharing Rugby Sevens with new audiences.
"This award is for the amazing athletes and the wonderful crowds which supported them as well as the world-beating experience of Rugby Seven they all helped create at Glasgow 2014."
The Rugby Sevens took place over two days at Ibrox stadium and saw South Africa clinch Gold for the first time.
