Athletics: Mo Farah to run at Glasgow Grand Prix
- Published
Double Olympic champion Mo Farah will compete at Glasgow's Diamond League meeting on 11-12 July.
The event takes place just two weeks before the city hosts the Commonwealth Games - which Farah says is "not on his list" of events to compete in.
Farah won gold in the 5,000m and 10,000m at London 2012 and did the same at the 2013 World Championships.
But the 30-year-old has not yet confirmed what distance he will be running at the Glasgow Grand Prix.
"Glasgow will be one of my first track appearances in front of a home crowd in 2014," he said.
"And having produced my best in front of the British public in London, I'm really looking forward to getting back out there and taking in the home support.
"Nothing in the world can compare to a British crowd and I will be doing everything I can to get the Hampden crowd going."
Farah will be joined in Glasgow by world 400m champion Christine Ohuruogu.
"It is a real privilege to be competing at the first ever athletics event at Hampden," said the British 2008 Olympic champion.
"To have potentially 30,000 there in July, it's going to be an amazing atmosphere for both athletes and spectators."
