Scotland's running queen Laura Muir and pentathlete Katarina Johnson-Thompson celebrated emphatic victories to earn Great Britain double gold at the European Indoor Championships in Glasgow.

Johnson-Thompson won the pentathlon crown as she finished a day of domination with 4,983 points, 252 clear of silver medal-winning team-mate Niamh Emerson, before Muir produced a blistering kick to defend the 3,000m title she won in Belgrade two years ago.

Muir, racing on her home track at a sold-out Emirates Arena, completed part one of her double bid just a couple of hours after qualifying for the final of the 1500m.

The 25-year-old sat on the shoulder of German rival Konstanze Klosterhalfen before unleashing her devastating finishing speed over the final lap to come home in a championship record eight minutes 30.61 seconds, with her final 200m timed at 28.32secs. Fellow Briton Melissa Courtney took bronze.

Muir said on BBC Two: "Hat's off to Konstanze, she ran a great race. I just knew I can't lose it here, this is my home turf, my home track."

Johnson-Thompson's score was the fourth highest in pentathlon history as she won the European Indoor title for a second time.
The hot favourite in the absence of Belgian Olympic champion Nafi Thiam, the Liverpool athlete finished the morning session with a lead of 118 points, helped by a personal best of 13.15m in the shot put, her weakest event.

With no chance of anyone catching the 26-year-old, a leap of 6.53m in the long jump and an 800m victory in 2:09.14 sealed a commanding victory.
