Who is competing?

Some of the biggest British stars will be in attendance, with home hero Josh Kerr among the headline acts.

The reigning 1500m world champion outdoors is in town to contest the 3000m and comes to Glasgow in fine form after clocking a new personal best time of 7:30.14 in the distance earlier this year, the 13th-fastest indoor time ever.

He also recently eclipsed Sir Mo Farah’s indoor two-mile record.

Kerr will be joined by fellow Scots Laura Muir and Jemma Reekie, who will both have eyes on middle-distance medals.

Muir will also compete in 3000m, where she will hope to earn a first world indoors gold, after winning silver and bronze at Birmingham 2018, while Reekie will go for 800m glory following her stunning run at the UK Athletics Indoor Championships, where she posted a Championship record and the second best time in the world this year.

Elsewhere on the track, sisters Laviai and Lina Nielsen will finally achieve their dream of competing on the same British team together at a global championships.

In the field, Molly Caudery hopes to continue her inexorable rise in the women's pole vault.

Caudery posted a world lead of 4.85m at the UK Indoors, but has already usurped that by an extra centimetre, and heads to Glasgow in the form of her life.

Morgan Lake goes in the high jump with eyes of a medal after finishing fourth outdoors at last year’s world championships in Budapest, while Olympian Scott Lincoln is in men’s shot put action.
