Copland and McIntosh teamed up for Scotland's fourth gold medal

Scotland shooters Kay Copland and Jen McIntosh won Commonwealth Games gold in the women's 50m rifle prone pairs.

Silver went to Michelle Smith and Sharon Lee of England with Indian pair Meena Kumari and Tejaswini Sawant taking the bronze medal.

Copland and McIntosh tied with the English pair on 1,169 points but took the gold on a higher x-ring count, an inner ring within the maximum 10 ring.

Theirs was Scotland's fourth gold medal in all at the Delhi Games.

McIntosh savoured a gold medal secured in challenging conditions.

"It was pretty tough. The wind was up. It was quite strong. We shoot on a reasonably sheltered range back home so it was bit of a struggle.

"It is an absolutely incredible feeling to win. Very satisfying. I hoped we were capable of gold but I didn't quite expect it."

On edging the English pair out for the gold, she added: "We quite often shoot together so it is good to beat them.

"We're Great Britain team-mates and there is plenty of banter between us but I'm not going to lie to you, it feels good to win."

Copland said: "It's a total shock to win. The wind was tough and I was saved by my team-mate. I couldn't get it right but we've won gold so it doesn't matter."
